Subject: RE: Big Boy Wheels Are you looking for a training or racing wheel or one you can use for both? I have been using this as a starting point to do research: http://thatswhatshesaidaboutyourbike.blogspot.com/2009/07/top-nine-bombproof-wheels.htmlI had some Vuelta wheels and they were solid when I started tri at about 250. They are even slightly earo with 30mm of rim depth and bladed spokes. I road them for over 1000 miles and never needed truing. The shimano R-500 wheels they suggest came stock with my P2, and are solid wheels. No problems so far after several thousand miles. I have heard good things about the Neuvation. They are light, strong, AND even can be used for cyclecross, so they should be pretty tough. As for race wheels, I have the HED3 tri spokes, which are rated for around 300lbs I think. ZIPP also makes clydesdale versions of the 303 (and another model that escapes me right now ). The Nimble Crosswinds have a cydesdale version as well. Good luck. |
