Apr 10, 2012 at 18:29 comment added user313 I climb a lot. My training rides take me into the foothills of the Cascades somewhat frequently.
Apr 10, 2012 at 18:26 comment added zenbike If they're quality, hand built wheels, either will do. 24's for endurance or training, 20's for lots of climbing.
Apr 10, 2012 at 18:24 comment added user313 These are hand-built, U.S. made wheels used by a women's bike team. They were used lightly, look brand new and the team mechanic assures me that they're in top shape. Since I probably outweigh any of the team by a good 20+ pounds, I couldn't decide between the 20's or the 24's... The team is upgrading to the 2012 models, so I'm getting the practically new wheels for less than 1/3'rd the price of new.
