haha thanks man! That was my initial plan before the DA wheels. I just decided on a shallow wheel since i just started racing and didn't want to look like a total "poser" in CAT 5. I'll treat myself to a nice set of deep wheels when i upgrade to CAT 4 perhaps haha

Thanks man! I was driving home with my bike on my roof and a softball sized rock came hurling at my car, hit my windshield and shattered it, ricocheted up and hit the bike on my roof, cracking the down tube. Haha hard to believe right? And the tape is fizik, in the black gloss color, best tape I've ever had.
