I was just wondering if anyone had any information on Specialized carbon three spoke wheels. I was wondering about quality, weight or how they compare to other similar wheels. Are they the same as the Hed ones? If you don't like them, suggest something comparable or better.
I've always preferred Aerospoke wheels; you won't find a more durable wheel. They're used extensively on tandems as well as on downhill racers' bikes, and by many ultraendurance riders, so they have proven themselves in terms of their durability. If you're more concerned about weight, look elsewhere. Good luck!

Specialized Tri Spokes are the same as Hed. Hed took over for Specialized with these wheel. Be sure to get the later version. Those made after 94 or 95. The original were quite a lot heavier.
They can get a bit difficult to handle on the front in a cross wind so think about that.

True,
But if you use them for something otehr than tri events (track, TT) the older models work pretty good.
