This thing is light, (less than 16 lbs! 58cm!) and you can feel it. Those wheels have some sail to them and I'm gonna have to be careful on windy days while I get used to them..
I can look forward to warm weather riding!

I still remember getting blown around the first time riding deep dish wheels in the wind. Scared the heck outta me. The wind (coming from one side) was blowing pretty good that day as I was riding through a street with a bunch of buildings blocking the wind. As soon as I got into the intersection, that gale force wind caught my front wheel and basically shook it, similar to someone who came by and push on your handle while you were riding. My hands were on the top and I was pretty relaxed up until that point. Now, I pay attention.
