I finally received my new cassette(SRAM), chain(SRAM), and skewers(SALSA) so that I could mount my new wheels. The only change I had to make to the bike was adding a small shim behind the brake caliper mount. It was rubbing a little and now its free, free, free. The rear wheel engagement is phenomenal. Before you could turn the wheel approximately 1/5 rotation on the crank before it would engage the clutch mechanism in the wheel. Now it is instant...pretty cool. I am pretty sure I will enjoy them, check them out on the bike.
