Trek has done the Project One program for a number of years now, but I really don’t think people understand the true value of this program.

For 2010, Bontrager has made some big changes to their wheels. The first and most obvious is they have switched to a traditional spoke pattern. Gone are the paired spokes. Another less obvious change is that Bontrager has moved away from DT Swiss and gone with their own hub design.

They made a few upgrades to the Node over the Incite and the [...]
