Wheels for sprint

You are in luck because Damon Rinard did a pretty comprehensive study of this very question.

The wheels you are looking at or similar wheels may be in his list of tested wheels and you can
compare them to other wheels.

Also read the References section. Particularly an article by Francois Grignon on Aero wheels which
measured vertical stiffness. In it he determined that a 36 spoke 14 gauge wheel was the most stiff
vertically.

For maximum lateral stiffness you want 36 14 gauge straight spokes on a deep dish rim.

As my style of riding has developed this season towards a harder and wilder sprint, I have
experienced a lack of rigidity in my Shimano dura ace wheels, which I use to like so much. Even
though I open my bag brake wide open it is still a problem. I´m now looking for a new turbular
wheel with fantastic rigidity, good areodynamics and a decent weight.I have heard many good
things about Light Weight whells but the price is a bit stiff I think. My research has brought me
this far:

Front - Zipp 280 (not 330 because of sidewind), FRM or TUNE hub, 22 Sapim CX Ray spokes, lacing???
(areodynamics over rigidity).

Back - Zipp 330 (not 280 because of rigidity), FRM or TUNE hub, 28 DT (for higher rigidity?)
spokes, lacing??? (rigidity over areodynamics).

Bike setup: Shimano Dura ace Colnago CT1 Dura ace (for now)

I would really like some comments on this, I am I on a right track and if I am what kind of lacing
should I use? Sincerely Nicolai

At the very top of the Damon Rinard article is a button to hit, data.htm. It has the list of wheels
tested and the results. It will take you to this web page.
