Subject: RE: Recommendation for a wheelset for a good value tubular vs. clincher - tubulars are glued to the rim, clinchers do just that, they clinch the inside lip of the rim, no glue required (although sometimes a strong arm ) I assume when you ask for a good wheelset you mean an aero wheelset. If new is the way you want to go, maybe check out neuvations, or perhaps some SRAM / Flashpoints as alternates to Zipps. Used / Frankenstein / etc. You can come out with a very good wheelset for a lot less than any new set if you know what to look for. I bought my Zipp 404's for $500. More aero... a used Hed 3 front is about $350-$500 on ebay, and a disc cover from wheelbuilder.com is about $100... that would be very hard to beat for the money. |
