Been interested in the recent threads by Endoman and Uphillstruggler about wheel upgrades and it has got me restless. Like Endoman I have a Focus Cayo 105 (since May) but have recently had to send the rear wheel back because of bearing problems. This started me thinking of upgrades hence the interest in the other threads.
My questions might seem naive to you in the know but I'm sure this is the place for the correct advice.
1. When you upgrade do you also replace your cassette or do you swap from wheel to wheel.
2. Whether you replace or swap what tools do you need?
When I buy the upgraded wheels, I was going to replace the cassette as well. As I have a 10 speed 105 I assume I just buy similar. I would then use the original wheels as winter wheels which seems to be the advice by CCer's.
3. Are there different quality shimano 105 cassettes that I should be aware of?
Finally the upgrade I've been looking at are the Fulcrum Racing 5's. Any comments on these?
