rooiers Posted January 21, 2011 Share my freind everybody yata,yata,yata.a wheel that you can use for training and racing should definitly be a clincher.so the best all round aero carbon clincher REYNOLDS.a good climbing wheel and for flats.good weight, can take any rider weight and the price is perfect 13000.00on top of everything it looks good too.I use to weigh in at 115kg and used the wheel for everyday.I now weigh 90 and have handed the wheels over to my 17year old who is racing in the league and the wheels is giving him good performance.

Willehond Posted January 21, 2011 Share Just wondering, because Full carbon clinchers are fairly recent to the market, and I am wondering if they will take a big hit. The Zipp/alu wheels are strong, have also been used for cyclocross. For cyclocross!???? Must be an American or other non-European thing. No respectable Belgian cyclocrosser will be found dead on anything other than tubbies. These guys have shedloads of tubbies to run at low pressures, but never a clincher in sight.

Christie Posted January 22, 2011 Share From Spinnekop's graph it is also clear why Zipp 808s are popular in the pro peleton on flatter courses.They would also be the ideal wheelset for most Gauteng races Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Break Posted January 22, 2011 Share [*]Tubbies = not suited for everyday use in SA.....one puncture and R900 GONEI think you need to change where you buy Tubbies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_w_65 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Ok, the mavics are seeming like a nice option, really like the look. To answer the question about light vs aero, I'm heavy and at 1.89m i just feel i'm going to get more performance benefit (percentage-wise) from better aero than from 300g less weight. Am I thinking correctly? Depends if you are doing TT or riding in a bunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
