hello, wondering if i could get some advice on wheel
selection. i am an elite amateur triathlete and starting to
compete in some draft legal races (40k bike). because the
field is usually pretty small, aerodynamics are of some
concern especially on solo breaks. however, as in crit style
racing, there is lots of cornering so the ability to corner
well and accelerate quickly is also important. any ideas?
would something like a Zipp 404 or 303 be ideal? as a tri
guy i'm definately educated on wheel aerodynamics, but not
much on cornering and accelerating. thanks for your advice!

Best performance/cost ratio options in this category are Corima Aero and Zipp 404. Reynolds Stratus are also very nice and costs a bit more. Truly exotic options include the Campy Bora and Lightweight wheelsets.

Rec.bicycles.tech is the appropriate group for this. Maybe
rec.sport.triathlon too.JT
