Hi everyone iam very new to cycling, just under a year now. I ride w a group and on my own. I own a Giant tcr sl2. Love the bike and have looked into the specs and noticed the wheelset is quit heavy. I would like to upgrade not sure what I could get to lighten the load and not my pocket. Any suggestions? ? Iam looking to spend no more than $500.

Just googled your bike and if I found the right one, it looks like a pretty good set up already. Upgrades will only be marginal, so unless you are planning to race, I would stick with what you have and put the money into the N+1 fund.

Having said that, it is a good idea to have either two bikes or at least 2 pairs of wheels, then one can be used in the summer and a heavier pair with more rugged tyres in the winter.

Good luck,
Keith

Yeah iam not looking to race. The weight is 1890 grams for the wheelset. Just looking for something to give me a lighter feel to the bike and I hear people say the heaviest component on a bike next to the frame is the wheelset. Thanks for the reply
