  1. I would like to purchase a new set of wheels, and even though the subject about wheels may have been
    discussed in this forum to nauseaum, I still would like to hear some input. I am mostly interested
    on wheels with a 40-50 mm rim deep. The wheels will be used for racing and training

    Need some suggestions or opinions on the following wheels: Zipp 404, or 303's Spinergy's Tilium
    Carbon Mavic Carbone Mavic Ksyriums

    Thanks in advance. Oscar G Texas Lone Star Racing (TSLR)

  2. Oscar,

    My honest recommendtion would be to buy a set of HED3 trispokes (faster than Zipps, etc.) for
    racing, and buy a set of $175 training wheels (Ultegra or 105 hubs, any rim).

    I have the 404's, and I wouldn't recommend them for every day training. I also found trispokes to be
    faster, but thats just my personal opinion.

  4. Best advice is to take this to rec.bicycles.tech or rec.bicycles.marketplace. Both are more
    appropriate newsgroups.

    Why not find a good wheel builder and have them design a wheelset specifically for you and
    your needs??

    Instead of a wheelset outta a box that will cost a bunch more and perform the same?

    I'm going to disagree with this statement. I tend to watch both, the people that tend to ride
    are on rbr.

    Read the newsgroup charter and you will see why you are wrong.
