at Unreal bikes Favorite Ride:
GMR to Baldy, Beach ride-Yorba Park to Huntington Beach Bike Setup:
Litespeed vortex, full DA, SMP composit seat, Thompson Master seat post, Salsa handle bar for short reach, Richies WCS stem 80mm, custom cranks 160mm. Cont. s/4000. Performance Carbon Cages. Summary:
when I first discovered these set of wheels, I didn't know anything about it, reviews and people that I ride with never even heard of it.I took a chance on it for many reasons: the Z-wheel too much,reynolds (awsom wheels) friend has, Williams (sold out)...These Grammo, Vipers clinchers very reasonable priced. Looks good on the Litespeed Vortex. Rollies and flat rides, they fly. But, stopping power on these carbon not so good, one must have to hit the breakes way before the sharp turn or things can happens for the worse. I guess this goes for all Carbon wheel ? (May be). For me crashing my bike twice in one day coming down GMR, I will rethink to use these wheels again for the Mountain Rides. I will continued to use them, one the flats and rollies. I would rather use my Ksyrium or Assent on the hills next time. Strengths:
looks good, strong, great hubs, replacing tires-easy, Very Aero very nice wheels Weaknesses:
Very slow stopping power, better pads maybe. Stock pads maybe questionable.
