Hi,
I have a Giant defy composite 2 (2014) 105 blah, blah, blah.
Not sure how many others own one, but I find it a bit on the heavy side. Now I wasn't expecting super light, but It is my first (proper) road bike. From being new to the whole cycling world when I brought it, I made the assumption that it would be lightweight.
ROUGHLY it weights in at 9kg.
Obviously I have been looking at wheels to replace the Giant PR-2 set up. I have come across a lot of wheels that are great and within budget £400.
Any Suggestions? from your experiences?
I would prefer something light over aero as I enjoy climbing more than anything. Clincher type is essential for me.
Thank you.

Also if you own a defy composite 2, how are you getting on with it and what (if anything) have you changed!
