Wheel question: corima vs bontrager

[ridr]

There are (/were) a set of corima aero's and a set of bontrager carbon wheels for sale. How do they compare?  And how do they compare to zipp 404's? (excluding weight, rim height and price which I already know) Looking for people's personal riding experiences.

Hey Ridr was good to meet you today

 

 

 

corima's are very good wheels very well built and very good after sales service from swift cant really go wrong there

 

 

 

bontrager are also very good wheels but as johan would say they have a very suspect spoking pattern lent from the rolf wheels that is more marketing hype than actual good wheel building (i stand corrected with that last phrase because i cant remember the exact words he used)

 

 

 

with the bontrager you are also safe with spares as it is built on a DT swiss hub and spokes so that is very reliable

 

 

 

the Zipp in my opinion is the most hyped about wheel and the most punted wheel but i think because "everyone" has a set of zipps it is too common

 

 

 

out of the three wheels i would rather go for the corima's but the bontragers are a great buy for the price that carbon is asking!!!

Thanks turtlek, was good to meet you too

Bought the Bontragers.  Think the Corima's sold (someone took them for a test ride tomorrow). And was just too late for the zipp 404's (which I've been focused on buying for the last 3years! Still can't believe I actually bought something else), which was probably a good thing
