- I've been considering getting a second set of lighter wheels for
- races(tri's). I've been using a set of Ambrosio 36 hole clinchers with
- 20mm tires that have stayed nice and true as long I don't hit a big
- pothole.

- I'm 175lbs with a 53cm frame.(Should be down to 160lbs before my first
- race) Am I just looking for trouble if I go with a set of 32 hole
- clinchers and 18-20mm tires? Does anyone have any words against aero
- rims?
