Pantani Posted December 5, 2007 Share Bulk Meat Packers!!! Who of you ride these wheels? Or anybody out there? If this was the only wheelset I owned, would it stand up to being ridden everyday? Pantani2007-12-05 07:41:43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101% Posted December 5, 2007 Share Not the lightest but the strongest! , No weight limit!!!!! full carbon rim based from the XXX lites with a head 65mm fairing fitted to them.16spoke front and rear. But this is the Hub!!! everybody here only raves about things cause he/she uses them....So my opinion doesn't count! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce Posted December 5, 2007 Share I think they are capable of being ridden every day, but why do it? They are a very expensive set of wheels. The wear and tear of riding them every day will end up costing more than a custom guilt set of training wheels that you may end up hitting a pothole with while jumping a red robot on the right hand side of the road in a dark gutter! Oh, and I ride the 5.0 carbon clinchers, beautiful set of wheels that are making sure my 404's stay in their wheelbags!bruce2007-12-05 07:55:52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pantani Posted December 5, 2007 Share Oooops... clearly you have seen me out training at 3am... Just all over the road you know... Anyway, so if I did get a set of these suckers you're saying they actually a very strong wheelset? 101%? Did I hear you correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101% Posted December 5, 2007 Share I'll even go so far as to say "come fetch mine! ride them and see for yourself . Thats the only way you'll trully understand what you buying/paying for. We can can turn this topic into a 50 page mud slingging episode of who builds the best wheels!!! But you know that saying.." The Proof is in the Pudding"......so come taste these babies...

Pantani Posted December 5, 2007 Share Do you have 5.0 or 6.5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonW Posted December 5, 2007 Share But purely from a performance point of view, why would they be better than a set of 404 tubbies given the 300g weight difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101% Posted December 5, 2007 Share I have the 5.0 , same wheel except for the fairing depth. They even come with an optional PT built into the raer wheel . Bruce has a set with a power tap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pantani Posted December 5, 2007 Share Stiffness??? Do they have a lower spoke count than the Zipps? OK, I'm also not too clued up here. Is the wheel build better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatwhite Posted December 5, 2007 Share Front wheel will probably be fine, but the back will loose spokes regulalry - unless your a small guy 16 spoke just aren't enough for the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pantani Posted December 6, 2007 Share Tell me.. since this wheel only has 16 spokes, a how many hole powertap hub will you use with this sort of wheel? Are there Powertap hubs with 16 holes or would you use a 24 hole or more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
