Replacement for Zipp 303s

[pgfourie]

I consider replacing my 303s.  Don't want Zipps again, so what do I get which is similar to the 303s - just better?

I've been very happy with my Aeolus 5.0 Carbon Clinchers:

It depends how you define "better"

 

Lighter? Lower drag? Higher lateral stiffness? More expensive?

All of the above?

The back is dimpled (1 yr old) and the front not (about 2 yrs old).  I had a lot of problems with the back wheel hub ito sideways movement.  Sent it in for repairs twice.  Everytime the bearings were replaced.  Last time was about for weeks ago and it solved the problem till the DC.  Unfortunately, it is now out of warrantee, and a new hub will cost me R3000.  So, now I'm gatvol with it and want to get something else.

"Better" is actually just trying to be funny.  And more expensive does not necessarily equate to better.  So, something with more or less same specs ito weight, drag, stifness!  Must say, I kind of like the Bonties which Bruce posted - so I'll go investigate their specs.

Ja maar is dit kuns

To beat Zipps on arodynamics is impossible, with another rim of the same depth. Not even a tri spoke could beat an 808 in independant tests done.

 

I dont have any data on Bonti's, but they work together with HED, I think they will be very very good.

Some other options:

*The new Shimano deep section tubbie is an excellent wheel

*Cruxpearl may have some slightly used Fulcrum Racing Speeds for sale, try sending him a pm.

These look good: Not too bling and you don't need have a Cervelo . . .

 

From where and how much?
