New Wheel Shakedown.
The new road wheelset from Nepest, called NOVA, is truly something else. This 35-mm model weighs 1,180 grams (F/R) - more than 800 grams lighter than the stock DT Swiss wheels that came on my bike. They make it noticeably easier to get up to speed from a standstill and to maintain the speed. My next testing stage is hills. How much easier? Or how much faster? Can't wait to try.

@InkySchwartz asks about suspension on bikes:
Q5. Do you think suspension is overused on bikes currently?
(And does your bike have a suspension component? Do you enjoy it?)
