Recently my bike doesn’t feel light at all.
It’s the panda color I spent ages finding, so I don’t want to change the bike itself — just the wheels.
Any good wheelset recommendations for a lighter, smoother ride?

Get an s works frame carbon one piece handlebar and sram red 1x
Maybe you have some water in the frame?
Or it’s just psychological.
Or your wheels are too heavy. Such aero wheels sometimes weigh a lot especially the deeper you go. The sweetspot is between 1450 and 1600 grams in my opinion. Atleast for wheels.
I would recommend a set of Mavic ones 45 deep profile. They are lighter than 50s or 60s. And it’s the perfect compromise between aero gains and weight in my opinion.
Or the Bontrager Aeolus 51 but they are very high priced!
“feels heavy”
Did you weight it? Because that can just be psychological, as long as your bike is 8kg or under you’re pretty much golden.
It’s the valve caps
