Flo Cycling Wheels (Page 38)

I would imagine a $500 disc would be a pretty darn popular item.

For those that didn't make it into group one and are wondering why, it probably depends what you ordered. From what the site said on that day the 60's were still in fgroup one when the 90's and disc were in groups 3-4. The 60's did eventually hit group 2.

I'm guessing that anyone ahead of you on shipping groups, but has a higher number probably ordered a set of 60's and you probably got a disc, or sometype of 90/disc combo. I'm guessing they based there orginal order breakdown/ratio according to what everyone said they would order in the survey's awhile back, and they said they are not changing the breakdown for the first order.

I'm sure the guys from Flo will be on sometime to answer questions though as they have been nothing but fantastic.

why get pissed at Flo if people doing the same thing got in.  I do understand that it sucks if your race season is almost over and you have to look elsewhere. In that sense, it was worth a shot that didn't work out. I got in order group 2 and it was actually MY fault...user error, but my tri race season doesn't start until mid June, so i am fine.

WELL wanting to be a little pissed is a pretty normal reaction when someone doesn't get what they are expecting especially in instances like this where it could have been avoided. I didn't say I now hated FLO nor did I say I was even sure what I was going to do.  but thanks for that! I was just voicing a little well placed frustatration.

didn't say you hated them. sorry it didnt work out as planned.

I think upgrading to ceramic bearings may also have had an impact on your place in line, regardless of order number. I'm sure Jon or Chris will clarify this too

I'm amazed that the extra steps needed to order more than 1 wheel could have been taken fast enough to make it into group 1...I wish I had been sneaky enough to ask a friend to order my 2nd wheel simultaneously!

may have some opportunists in there getting some for resale....

+1 - What you said made me think it is sounding a lot like races. We were all treading water before the 10am start, in one humongous AG. We each prepared the best we could, we might even have done run throughs because on some level we knew it was a competition, and when the horn sounded, we all tried our best to adapt to the ever-changing conditions (heck, I had my cc # copied & ready to paste - only to have the Next > screen crap out & I then needed to decide on the fly to switch over to Paypal) Some prevail, some don't. I guess the podium was the 1st shipment. Still trying to figure out what the line-up to the porta-potties is...

Order page says 90 fronts are all group 2.

I'm just telling you you what they posted on Facebook.

"Our survey helped a lot but it did not paint a completely accurate picture. There are later orders in the first shipping group because someone ordered a wheel that was not very popular. For example, if someone ordered a front FLO 90 today I would tell them that it was available to ship in the first group. The front FLO 60 and the FLO DISC were very popular and if you ordered one of those instead you were most likely bumped to later group. Each wheel has a mold and that mold has a capacity."

Great analogy! Some of us may have also had better luck with our rack positions in the transition area.

I emailed and asked.  Got a response in a couple of hours.  I'm now in group 1 waiting on a front 90.  

Aero difference was almost zero.  Biggest difference between the two is likely handleability in winds - the 90 will catch more air and be twitchier.  The weight difference isn't a big deal, IMO.

Order #243 in group 1:

Front Flo 60

Clydesdale Disc with Ceramic

Both with Red stickers

Cant wait to Rock em on my Sworks Transition
