LOOK695 Posted October 26, 2011 Share I have a set of the same (cosmic sl) wheels. They are great and if I push a little at the front it is easy to open up a gap. They are heavier to climb but not "slower" than my training wheels. Since I'm a heavier rider I even ride deep sections (52mm) in the wind, no problems .....I don't think that wheel weight (with in reason) makes such a big difference for us heavier riders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am doing some research before buying, would like to buy the right wheels I have a set of Agogo full carbon clinchers, weigh in at 1440grams for the set. Awesome wheelset!

EVOBIKES ONLINE STORE Posted October 26, 2011 Share You were lucky! The first batch we imported when the US$ was at R6-70... They now retail for about R9k! But STILL a bargain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummibear Posted October 26, 2011 Share I have a set of Agogo full carbon clinchers, weigh in at 1440grams for the set. Awesome wheelset! How would they compare with the Ness wheels that Kiwi sells? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOBIKES ONLINE STORE Posted October 26, 2011 Share The Zeniths are about 215g lighter per set. Both Zenith's are 50mm versus 38mm/50mm for the Ness Combo. QR's supplied with Zeniths are Ti that weighs 44g a set. We also supply 3 free spokes for the wheels in case some break. And we will throw in free valve adapters Campag bodies also available...

SURFER Posted October 27, 2011 Share Blackspade wheels seem to offer a decent package as well as Sentiinel. Maybe some fellow hubbers that are using these wheels can give some feedback? For your son I would recommend a profile of not more than 50mm on the front. I agree, would also like some feedback on Blackspade wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dracs Posted October 28, 2011 Share We generally recommend our maximum limit at 275 lbs. That is not to say that every Zipp wheel is right (or wrong) for you. We strongly believe in having the right wheel for the right application. The needs of a 220 lb sprinter are different from those of a 115 lb triathlete. If you are at or above 190 lbs, we strongly recommend you consider the MAX 404 or 808. These wheels have additional spokes that offer better stiffness and cornering confidence for someone at that weight. Keep in mind - this is a guideline. There are very strong riders at 180 lbs who may prefer the MAX, and very smooth-riding 225 lb riders who may prefer the standard wheel.Recommended maximum weight for specific wheels: 190 lbs (86kg) for 202 and 303 tubular 225 lbs (102kg) for Team Issue, 404, 808, and 1080 Above 190 lbs (86kg), consider MAX 404 and 808 275 lbs (125kg): Cyclocross, MAX, Track, Disc wheels Tire choice depends highly on user preference and conditions. To summarize, a 21mm has superior aerodynamics with our rims; a 23mm is larger and subsequently has better ride quality and rim protection, but at a slight aero penalty. Here are some questions you can ask that will help guide your decision: Triathlon/Time trial? In general – 21mm.Road racing? In general – 23mm.Training and/or daily riding? 23mm+ Dry? 21mm at normal recommended pressure.Wet? 23mm at a slightly lower pressure. Smooth roads? 21mm at normal recommended pressure.Rough roads? 23mm at a slightly lower pressure. User prefers slight aero benefit of 21's at the expense of a little ride comfort, rim protection, and rolling resistance? Use 21mm.User prefers slightly better ride comfort, rim protection, and rolling resistance of 23's at the expense of a little aero? Use 23mm. Rider weighs less? 21mm.Rider weighs more? 23mm.thanks, only spotted this now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummibear Posted October 28, 2011 Share Where is this referenced from? 10mm vs 0.7in looks a bit suspect. It's from the Campagnola site,page 14 on the teck spec for wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAAD4 Posted November 4, 2011 Share My link Catalog Icycling on this forum is the South African distributor (Peter Wheeler). I don't want to jeopardize my wheels but these are great. But I have the STEALTH PBO WHEEL SET. Not knocking the Spinergy's at all. I like the customising concept. Peter is a great guy to deal with. I have referred quite a few mates to him who were very happy with their dealings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heading out tomorrow to ride the Argus route with 21 - 25 km/h wind with 30 - 32 km/h gusts forecasted.IN GENERAL:At what point do I put my deep sections away?At what point is some wobbliness in the handling normal in the cross winds? Packing my Ksyrium front wheel, lightweight climbing wheel, in the boot - just in case... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
