Spano you will be stupid to consider anything unless they are over ten grand

 

?

 

?? what do you mean..

 

?

 

I shouldnt consider buying carbon wheels for less that 10g ?

 

 

 

no no if the wheels are over ten grand leave them and go for the hed wheels from raoul if not then go for them

[spano]

ohh ok sorry my bad!!

I got some Corimas recently.  I'm very happy with them so far.  Definitely faster than my box and medium section wheels (shimano, easton, mavic.) when you hit 40 km/h.  Very light.  Sprinting feels great.  Cross-winds affect them less than Mavics (but the ksyriums are just plain terrible in cross-winds)

 

The Corimas are definitely more silent when changing gears than any other deep section, and when braking.

 

Of that choice of wheels, Corima and Hed have a bulletproof reputation.  Equinox not so much.

 

Corima should be slightly lighter than the Heds.  The Heds will be a bit more aero if it's 60s or 90s -- not if it's 50s.

 

Some Hed rims fill up with water in the rain.

 

 

 

 

 

Both Corima and Hed have slightly wider rims than other wheels.  For both you might need to open your brakes a bit (funny that wider rims get used by aero companies, hey?  Hed has a good write-up on the benefits)

 

I'd get the Corimas again.

 

Now if someone can sell me a new pair of legs...

thanks,, I'm thinking about getting them, just waiting for the guy to reply!

 

I ride campag so opening the brakes for me is not just flickling a small lever!? should I just give it some slack on the cable then???

Adjust the brakes using the barrel adjuster on the caliper.

If you ride Campy like you said you will see a silver barrel with what looks like a ring around it. Your brake housing fits into it and the naked cable comes out the other side to fasten to the caliper. You use that barrel with the funny ring around it to adjust the pad distance from the rim.

would have never known that

friggin Italian engineering

 

 

thanks Onetime!!!!!

You are welcome.

Spano dont stress i also didnt know what a barrel adjuster was a few years ago!!!

 

 

 

just a tip if the barrel adjuster is all the way in you might have to undo the cable before doing that turn the barrel adjuster out 5 times and then loosen the cable then hold the pads onto the rim and tighten the cable again after pulling the cable through again that should give you enough room to work with and adjust your brakes if need be
