      Comments about Shimano WH-R-501A Wheelset:

      I recently bought a 2012 Bianchi Brava which came with standard Bianchi 28 spoke wheels. So I figured I would upgrade to something better. What an amazing difference these wheels made! For the money, absolutely worth it. Especially if you are like me where you ride intensely every day (or try) but you're not a competitive rider. The bike handles so much better, takes rough patches in the road better, climbs more easily, and overall feels much sturdier. They weigh less then the Bianchi wheels too. Definitely worth the money.
