I just took the bike out for the spin with the new carbon wheels and tires. Tires make a huge difference. I would def recommend the Conti GP 5000 tires and if you haves have the funds, def get some carbon wheels. Rode smooth and was fast!
I just took a ride with the new wheels and when I stop pedaling it sounds like a swarm of angry bees. It’s so loud. It’s good because ppl get out of the way but I didn’t think upgrading wheels would have a hub so loud.
Finally put my new Aeolus Pro 5 wheels with Conti GP5000 28s tires and I can’t wait to try them out. I get home and it’s pouring rain outside 🙄

God forbid you bring a Walmart bike to one of these small bike shops. They’ll remind you every chance they get. Oh I can’t do this because you know........it’s a Walmart bike. Real snobby elitist.
Yea snobby shops don’t get my business, went to my LBS and asked if they had a specific specialized helmet I was looking for the the employee was like “we’re a trek dealer” with a real attitude in his tone. I said got it. Walked out and my business went right out with me.
Okay I was worried because I don’t want to be on the highway and for the bike to fall off because it didn’t have the side hooks. No issues with your Yakima at 60-70mph?
