Subject: Zipp 404 vs Mavic R SYS for LP Ok, so Ive been toying with the idea of renting wheels for LP. I just have my standard wheel that came with my Specialized Transistion Elite, 2006 model which are Lightweight Alex ALX 330 wheelset
I am 5'4, 125 and not the strongest rider ever. I can carry about 20mph on the short term, not sure yet this year what I can carry on the long haul. But regardless, Im not sure any of what I can do here in Michigan will matter that much on the hills of LP. Ive heard aero wheels dont provide too much benefit unless you are pretty fast, I have no plans of investing in wheels, but I would like to get some for LP to help in any way possible. Ive had the 404's mentioned to me, and the Mavics (which are less aero, but lighter and supposedly more comfortable ).
Since I am new to looking at wheels, just looking for a few suggestions/thoughts for anyone who knows more than me! |
