Keiths New Bike Bits

Before Keith gets that new bike, he is going to upgrade some bits on his current bike. Hopefully components he can use when gets his new bike. Below are the components and the choices he is thinking about.

Wheels

My current bike has Mavic Aksium 700C clinchers and they are great. I am after a set of lighter faster wheels to run a tighter cassette on and faster tyres, effectively race wheels, although I am not currently racing, I want something for events and long rides as I hit those longers rides. An additional consideration is that I am currently 100kg (220lbs), I am not rough on bikes but can bend wheels that are too light.
