Velo Dude said:I'm thinking about getting the R3SL.
If I build it with Dura Ace I think I will get the WH 7850 carbon clincher wheelset (very smooth ride).
My question is, what would be a comparable wheelset for Super Record?

JMK30mph said:"As to components, that Super Record is the smoothest stuff I have ever used. Sram Red/Force mix is the best value currently .(super light, cheap, but still worse in front shifting) DuraAce is comparatively heavy, pricey and those wheels are nothing special.(DA front shifting is brilliant but replacement 53T rings are over $400)"
I have been riding Ultegra on various bikes with mileage of 10,000+ per year for fifteen years and have never had to replace a big ring. Wouldn't think you'd have to replace a DuraAce chainring either. Just saying.
MavicMoto said:Why the Cervelo? There are nicer bikes (more durable) for less money. Felt, Focus, Parlee, others.
Velo Dude said:Why would anyone get a Cervelo then?
The difficulty for me is in finding those other bikes to test ride. I cannot see spending 7K+ on a bike without test riding it first.
