I need some advice on a new wheelset. I currently ride with a Mavic Open Pro 32 with a PowerTap SL and a Bontrager Race X-Lite front. I am looking for a set for racing. I am 145 lbs. I am a decent climber and I am looking for a wheel that spins up well but also is fairly aero. I thought about more aero wheels to help me on the flats, but I don't want something so heavy that it is not a good climbing wheel. Is it possible to have the best of both worlds? I do not want to sacrifice my Power-Tap so I am looking for a rear wheel with a Power-Tap. One scenario I have considered is a Zipp or FlashPoint 404 rear with a 303 front. I have heard that the Zipps may not be reliable. I have no experience with Zipps, so I do not know. I have no preference on Brands.
Also, I would like to stay with clinchers if possible. The reason is simply because I have no experience with tubulars and I am told the process for changing them can be time-consuming and difficult.
Thank you, as always, for all your advice.
JB
