Road Bike Wheels

If you are looking for a new pair of wheels for your bike you should consider having one that is lighter to give you a lighter load specially when uphill. It should also improve aerodynamics so you can cut through air on flat roads.

If you bought an average priced bike online or at a store, it would be likely that the manufacturer paired the frame with lower quality wheels to make it more affordable. However, personally I wouldn't buy high-end wheels that cost more that the whole bike and will break my wallet. As long as the new pair of wheels offers lower weight, improved stiffness, and has a better aerodynamics I'm fine with it even-though it's not carbon.

Here's my top bicycle wheels:

Fulcrum Racing 3 wheels - the Fulcrum Racing 3s run as smoothly as if you’ve just pulled them out of the box. This is a really good product that will give you a superb performance. At 9.54 pounds, they’re light for the price, it will help you on steep hills, while the wheels lateral stiffness make them a good choice for more powerful riders. The wheels are made of Alloy.

Mavic Ksyrium Elite wheels - it's the most recommended wheels among cyclists who have upgraded their wheels. The new version has wider rim for improved comfort and aerodynamics. It also offers an impressive stiffness. It gives you lower rolling resistance and an improve puncture performance since it has bigger gap between the road and the edge of the rim.

The Isopulse lacing improves stability and lateral stiffness under heavy loads such as sprinting or climbing.

Campagnolo Zonda wheels - Campagnolo is known for their pricey groupsets, but the Italian company also offers an extensive line in wheels too. Their Zonda wheels maybe their cheapest wheels but they still maintain many of the same features as their top of the line wheels.

The Zonda also boast the famous G3 spoke pattern tha is used on the iconic Campagnolo Shamal wheels that makes power transfer instantaneous for faster acceleration. These wheels are light so if you are from stock wheels to Zonda, it will make climbing and accelerating so much easier.

The 2016 Bristol World Naked Bike Ride purpose is to make people aware of the dangers facing riders on the road. You can see participants who are completely naked, while there are people who are partially clothed. They paraded around the city on Saturday June 4.
It was a celebration of bikes and bodies, these cyclists wants safer roads and they are demonstrating against car culture and oil-dependency.

Around 250 cyclists took part in the 6.5-mile city center ride which was organized on the theme "as bare as you dare". Their starting point is at the Full Moon pub in the Stokes Croft area.

The ride was rerouted due to other protest, and coincided with some other planned city center marches that includes anti-immigration rally. Thank goodness the bike ride participants didn't encounter any trouble.
