Forum: Road Cycling

“It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” Ernest Hemingway.

    I have pre-2000 campagnolo dual pivot brake calipers ('98 chorus). I need brake pads. I know for sure that I do not have the original holders but they look like reproductions.

    I'm debating on getting a new set of wheels. The wife wants to know what I want and I'm honestly not sure. So back to my question: if I upgrade my wheels and drop 300 grams will I notice a significant difference in riding?
