Cam182 Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 i vote zipp 303s for cape town... question for those with these wheels (or other similar carbon clinchers)... do you ride these as every day wheels or just races?

carbon29er Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 Seems quite a few people are suggesting Light-Bicycle as a budget options. I melted the braking surface on mine descending from the mountain top finish of the Tour of Good Hope. Suddenly not so confident about that option anymore. That's the reason I would only use them with disc brakes. I hated my carbon wheels with rim brakes, after the first few months of use braking was not a pleasant pastime. You cannot beat the major wheel manufacturers when it comes to braking surfaces.
madbradd Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 Quite a few folks mentioning Meilensteins. From all of the pics I can find these look like they're a V shaped rim, different to the way every other company is going for aero wheels. From what I read, the V shape is necessary due to the build. Given this, it would be interesting to know how they actually feel. http://road.cc/content/review/171791-lightweight-meilenstein-tubular-wheelset also states that Lightweight don't actually make any aero claims about the wheels. They certainly are lighter: Meilensteins: 1180gBora One 50: 1485gBora Ultra 50: 1435gZipp 303: 1625gMavic Cosmic Pro SL (40 mm): 1433gRoval CLX 40mm: 1375g (I haven't seen it mentioned yet, but also a nice comparison even though Spez wheels on a Colnago seems wrong)
Patchelicious Posted March 18, 2017 Author Posted March 18, 2017 Lightweight...I looked at them, make no mistake. Best price I could get them for was R67k. They are cool, but to be honest, this bike is going to get raced hard and those wheels seem more like ones I would one day hang on my wall.
Patchelicious Posted March 18, 2017 Author Posted March 18, 2017 So, what did you buy Patch?Boras, just not sure if I want 35 or 50s. Heart says 50s kop says 35s
'Dale Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 Boras, just not sure if I want 35 or 50s. Heart says 50s kop says 35s Always follow the heart
madbradd Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 Boras, just not sure if I want 35 or 50s. Heart says 50s kop says 35s Put a 50 on the back and a 35 on the front. Say you took the inspiration from Enve! Edit: But really just get the 50s.
stringbean Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 http://ax-lightness.de/en/cycling/bike-components/laufraeder-rennrad-ultra/ultra-45c/Got myself a set of these at the argus expo and been really impressed so far.Weight was spot on .

stringbean Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 R39999 before you askCheaper than lightweight ,about same as zipp.
Ozzie NL Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 Put a 50 on the back and a 35 on the front. Say you took the inspiration from Enve! Edit: But really just get the 50s.38 fromt / 50 rear is what I've got. Find it works well in most conditions
Jakkals. Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 38 fromt / 50 rear is what I've got. Find it works well in most conditionsI ride a 404 rear and 303 front, being a light rider, I feel this is best for me!
Kalahari Vegmot Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 Deksels those zipps are heavy! Apparently Zipp and Lightweight's braking surface and heat resistance to braking heat is tops, but comes at the price of being more brittle. Bora 35's for the win
stringbean Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 I think the best heat resistance and braking surface goes to the new giant carbon wheels
Cippo Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 http://ax-lightness.de/en/cycling/bike-components/laufraeder-rennrad-ultra/ultra-45c/Got myself a set of these at the argus expo and been really impressed so far.Weight was spot on .German quality, up there with the best.Anyone have the new Mavic's
