Current Projects chat and miscellany

Just bought my first geared bike :s

I'm sure this has been discussed a 1000 times, but any recommendations for a new wheelset that doesn't cost the Earth would be good.

But something which doesn't cost the earth won't actually be a worthwhile upgrade from the stock wheels. Keep hold of your money until you can afford some really good 'Sunday best' wheels

Probably this.

My Giant came with DT Swiss R1900, which the reviews suggest are heavy and underspec'd for the bike. So I planned to replace them.

After riding them, they're fine. I might change them in spring for something lighter, like the Stan's smallfurry posted. But really now is not the time to be upgrading road bikes.
