How much of a difference will the quality of wheels make on my road bike? I have a really low end wheel set on my single speed. Do you have any recommendations?

actually those kinds of numbers [60 grams translates to 480 grams] only apply to acceleration, not constant speed

at constant speed, going up a hill [or down], 60g is 60g - not much

good wheels can be more aerodynamic though,

06.02.28

Bombardier Transportation is enhancing its competence centre for bogies in Siegen with a new wheel set centre. “We are delighted to extend our core competencies in Siegen with the new wheel set centre,” said Dr. Klaus Baur, Chairman of the Management Board of Bombardier Transportation, Germany. In the first operating year, around 1,700 wheel sets will be produced and this should rise to 10,000 per year by 2013. The production of wheel sets on site ensures an optimised and simplified logistics chain, quality optimisations and a greater independence from external suppliers and changes in the market. He continued: “The capability of a bogie depends fundamentally on the components of the wheel set. The set up was achieved by the Siegen site team in only 10 months. The centre of excellence for bogies in Siegen extends core competencies and opens up new business fields. By carrying out the production ourselves in future, we can ensure ideal and simpler quality assurance and installation processes.
