Time for an update. I'd have posted some new wheels earlier, but they got stolen from my doorstep...
Fast forward a week, one set of wheels is still MIA - but at least I've got some weenie wheels! I stumbled across the new Aeolus XXX and they seemed interesting. DT swiss internals and a claimed 976g. Off to a good start when they came in under the advertised weight...
Ditched the Bontrager stickers and saved 3g.
Snagged some Carbonworks cages from Huck*this
Going to have to snag some aluminum countersunk bolts from Toronto Cycles.
I realize almost immediately that I'm not so crazy about the look of wheels this shallow. Nonetheless, I'm looking forward to getting out on them tomorrow. Also just swapped in some Thomson bars. I love the look of the Deda bar but I've grown slightly annoyed with not being able to get the SR hoods exactly where I want... and I've missed a flatter top that went away with the newer Superleggera bar. So far, this Thomson feels nice. If I decide to keep it, I'll sand it down and buff it.
Total weight is down to 5760g as pictured.
