Well, here she is. Went out for a ride today after taking on/off the rim brakes no less than 5 times per wheel, buying hammers, a sander, and a new utility knife to keep the pads at least a few mm off the rims.
The ride, exactly as yesterday, but with the new wheel set, K's Denki to southern end of Arakawa -> 16.32 km and back. Yesterday, nearly no wind, 30km south, about 37 km/h North. Today, 25-30 km/h south but felt easy, the wind was just too fierce. North was 37-42 km/h. These wheels...FLY! Thanks @stu_kawagoe , @luka @leicaman @GrantT for all your technical help and advice. Thanks @Half-Fast Mike for the GP5000 suggestion. Love 'em.
Now to plan my upgrade to a full carbon TT bike with disc brakes. Wife: uhhhh, is the spare bedroom becoming a bike shop?
