Hi, thinking about buying a cannondale super six 2011 (exposed carbon) but fitting Planet X Carbon 'no logo' 82/101 wheels.
Here is what the bike looks like at this link:

It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them.

Those wheels are a nightmare in normal riding conditions. On a still day they are great in a TT.
They'd also look daft on that bike...0 -
+1 it will look naff. maybe its a cannondale slice you want?0

I think it would look amazing if you choose 50 or 60mm rims. The 82/101mm rims are a bit overkill... a bit Max Power if you know what I mean.0

I have 60mm on my bike and they are 'interesting' when its a bit breezy having deeper rims on a non TT or Tri bike is ridiculous.0

The SRAM S60 are quite nice.(60mm)It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them.

Nice bike.
The wheels look nice too but certainly not suitable for the type of riding you'll be doing (sportive and long distance).
I reckon they will be quite an unforgiving ride and a definite problem in a side wind.
I've never used tubulars so wouldn't know how easy it is to sort out a puncture, for that reason I stick to the trusty clinchers with a couple of spare tubes in my saddle bag._________________________________________________

Bollox to all that, it would look cool! 8)
I'd race on that (but I will conceed, the handling would be fun in a crosswind so buy a 50 front for those breezy days)Obsessed is a word used by the lazy to describe the dedicated!0 -
