Subject: Loaner wheel for The Rookie The hub on my Zipp 404 front wheel slowly disintegrated during the off season (very minor failure that the tension of the spokes pulled apart to over 1/8"). I ordered one of the new Flo 90s that I'm super excited about, but it won't be here in time for The Rookie Tri in Austin in just over 2 weeks. I'm a consistent podium contender for this race without having actually gotten there. I like my chances again this year. It's a long shot, but is anyone in the Austin area willing to loan me an aero front for the race? I will reimburse you fully if there happened to be any damage during the race. Yeah, the bike course is only 11 miles long and will take me less than 30 minutes, but the bike is my strongest leg and where I'm likely to make the most time. Besides, I'll look silly on my P3 with disc rear and aero helmet with a standard box front rim with round spokes. ; ) |
