So, 2 days ago some bastards broke into the 'secure' bike storage in our block of flats in the dead of night, while the night porter was doing something other than his job, and stole people's bikes and components. They also stole the wheels off my singlespeed and dented/bent the frame trying to wrench the bike off the rack I'd locked it to.
Someone I saw in Condor said that a good set of wheels made riding in the city muy comfortabler after switching to Mavic Ellipses.
So, I was wondering if you've got any recommendations for a decent wheelset. Until now I've always ridden singlespeed rather than fixed. Is it easy to switch over? I've just got this picture of myself cruising into lights/down a hill, forgetting I'm riding fixed and face planting.
Any help appreciated, ta!
