zipp 404 v Campag Boras

[mnoorgat]

hi there

how do you compare the 2.

the zipps are approx R17k and the Boras are approx R27k

can you justify the additional R10k for the Bora?

[MariusL]

yes

[LOOK695]

R10000-00 extra for Boras I like the Boras, but would probably chose the Zipps

[Clinton - theCOW]

Are any of us at a level to actually notice a difference? Campag do make bullet proof wheels tho

 

With the Firecrest 404, for that kinda price diff, i'd say Zipp!

[428 others]

Firecrest all the way!

Maybe have a look at the Enve's 6.7 or 3.4 build with Chris King hubs. These will be about the same price as the Boras. Wheight of 3.4 is 1243g with CK hubs

[Lucky Luke.]

My Zipps have me going 2-3km/h faster @ 40km/h + which at the level I am racing, can be enough to make a solo break work.

 

Seeing as my sprinting is in the toilet, that is the kind of advantage I am willing to pay for.

The new Zipp 'Firecrest' is da bomb.

 

With Campag, you pay for Italian flair @ 10 000 moola more.

Oh, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with some flair... especially @ high speeds.

Eish! At 40km/h I can only go 40km/h

[Let's Ride]

Easton's are also very good wheels!

[Spinnekop]

I HAD Boras

I STILL HAVE my Zipps.

 

[Bike Mob]

Had bora's, had zipps

 

HAVE firecrests now.

[BIG C]

New firecrests are the Sh#T!!!!! so fast

[Bike Mob]

The difference in crosswinds is ridiculous even compared to a 50mm (shallower) profile

[X-Man]

Whats the going price for 303 & 404 Firecrest?

 

Anyone keen on selling a set at a good price??
