New Wheel (and tire) Day
(lemmy.nz)
Just upgraded my Lauf Uthald's stock wheels and tires (DT Swiss e1800 23, Goodyear Eagle F1R) to ICAN Aero 40 II, Silca Protocol RCR.
800 grams lighter. So that's not nothing.
First carbon wheels on my first carbon bike. So I have little experience to compare with. But first ride went well. First thing I noticed was the sound. They kind of sing. I definitely noticed better cornering and smoother over small bumps and joints.
I am happy with my purchase.
Cool upgrades, what convinced you to get the Silcas? I've been eyeing them as well as the Uthald, bike hits the right spot for a complete build and value, but haven't had the opportunity to test ride it.
Saw a couple of videos. Liked what they were saying about things other brands weren't addressing. Especially ease of installation. Those eagles are impossible. Also I like trying new things that other people probably don't have. Thus the Uthald. :)
Ride safe my friend
