  1. 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!

    A lightweight deep-section aero wheelset costs, but will give the best all-around performance. 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.

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