Expert  1170    Southern Pines, NC |  Subject: A little race day bike pr0n for the weekend....So, I think I've found the winner for a race day wheelset... the 808/900 combo is SWEET. These are still the rentals (thanks, racedaywheels.com), but now I know what I'll be shopping for this fall/winter... And I needed to take some pictures with the Quarq/310XT setup too... Here she is, my faithful P2C, all decked out for race day. If that doesn't inspire you to ride fast I don't know what will.     |

I read a lot about people having issues with various wireless computers Nope--I've been really happy with the 310XT/Quarq setup. I don't use the Garmin speed sensor since the Quarq transmits cadence as well. |

Just as a sidebar, I think the saddle that came with my P2 (fi'zi:k Arione Tri2) is the most comfortable nosed saddle I've ridden. |

| Veteran 268 Boulder | Subject: RE: A little race day bike pr0n for the weekend.... Nice! I recently got the same setup - 808f/900r. I'm disappointed that I can't hear the hum while I ride, but I'm sure everyone I pass can! *LOVE* the name on the top tube. Awesome. Awesome. |

Nowhere near it, in fact. I was ready to buy the Vuka Bull/Clip setup until I stumbled upon a ridiculously good deal on the VukaAeros. |

Yeah, I tried the 1080s and the front did react more noticeably to crosswinds. I thought the 808 would too but it's extremely well behaved. |

Champion 7233 | Subject: RE: A little race day bike pr0n for the weekend.... the 1080 is also a much heavier wheel comparative to its rim depth. good for non-technical/flat courses but at least from the short time i rode one not something i would want fo an everyday wheel. |

The tubular version is only 90g heavier than the 808 for the set, but I agree that the 808 is a better all-around wheel. If I decide to do any RRs or crits again I could use the 808s and have a great wheelset for that--not so much with the 1080. |
