The_Break Posted October 26, 2011 Share Want to get set of deep section wheels. What is the best option for front and back? Front 60mm and back 80mm? Also do I go for clinchers or tubbies? Personal opinion is to go for min 48mm and max 60mm deep sections. For road racing this is a good depth as deeper does not offer that much of an advantage unless you off the front solo for 40-50km. Check out how stiff they are as this affects sprinting and cornering. I would recommend tubbies if youu can afford R500 plus a puncture and don't go cheap on tubbies as then there is no real point with having a poor high rolling resistant rubber compared to the more expensive lower rolling resistant ones. Another great thing about tubbies is that when you puncture they stay on your rim so it is safer compared to riding rim metal with a clincher wheel that has rolled it tyre off. Personally I would go for wheels in the following order: HED 60mm front and rear - they are faster than Zipps according to testing done in USA (can't remember magazine) and cheaperZipp 404 front and rear - good solid wheel with good aeroCampy Bora Ultra II - They have cone bearings which run ultra smooth and are rock solid I have not ridden other makes so cannot judge or give an opinion.

Tiny K Posted October 26, 2011 Share I like it hard and run my tubbies at 11 to 12 bar, clinchers only at 8 to 9 bar My clinchers are pumped to 9.5 Bar - got Schwalbe Ultramo ZX's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiny K Posted October 26, 2011 Share Can your rim handle that pressure? They seem to be fine. Will google them quickly for specs. The rim tape that came with them says max pressure 10 bar - and they were in when I bought the wheelset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen that happen on quite a few wheels.Mostly because guys pump the wheels at a garage pump and then the bead pops off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
