Okay so the trigger been pulled and the money's sent over to China.
ProX R98 wheels on 25-45c rims, ud matte, fancy grooved brake tracks (319usd). Spokes upgraded to Sapim CX Ray (70usd) I also ordered an extra SRAM XDR frehub body in case 12 spd and spare spokes (40usd). Delivery w prepaid tax 139usd. Total 568usd. If not for the terrible EUR to USD rate would be a nice sub 500 number, but...here we are.
Spokes upgraded mainly for the weight saving of approx 100g and to make the wheelset sub 1500.
Nearest wheelset was 200 usd more expensive and that buys me a set of GP5000s + latex tubes, PF BB bearings, some sticky kush bartape and maybe fancy cables.
The rest will be transferred over from the CAAD.
Was looking for some different finishing kit and stumbled across Zipp Service Course SL. What a stunner. Apart from the pricetag...
Also expert thoughts on Alu seatpost w carbon frame? No no? Ya ya? Maybe? Wtf?
