Looking for "reasonable" racing wheels, 650 clinchers. Has anyone tried the Nimble traditional spoked wheel. I believe it's called "Fly". I'm not interested in the tri-spoke. I do triathlons, including the Ultra distance, so durability is an issue. Also, any thoughts on the new TUFO hybrid tire.

JimTri friends I ride with like 650 Zipp 404s. They ride tubies, but I think Zipp also makes 650 clinchers.
I am about to order some 700 Zipp clinchers and have done all the research I can. Apparently the 2003 Zipps are a significant improvement over the older ones.
They come up on eBay and RBR classifieds pretty regularly. The going price for new and newish ones is under $1000. They are $1350 or so list.
