These are probably solid on the old bike and are hollow on the new. <br /><br /> This is a mixed blessing: the bike is faster, but the rims wear out faster!<br /><br /> Removing weight from rotating components has twice the effect of removing weight from the frame when accelerating. Acceleration is probably a key issue in your ride to work.<br /><br /> The bearings are probably also improved... below about 18 kmh rolling friction dominates.<br /><br />CJOcandmwanderings.wordpress.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299532951006810813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986777679386372452.post-85112597549910126672010-08-19T01:56:23.679-04:002010-08-19T01:56:23.679-04:00It looks like some sort of home made treat for hor...It looks like some sort of home made treat for horses!Margo and Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09673535877069679349noreply@blogger.com
