We looked at Flo wheels hard and really wanted to buy a set, but they are not on the UCI approved list so they can't be raced in an ITU DL race. |

I am currently putting off buying new wheels or a tri bike or anthing, so jealous :P Thanks! I put this off WAY too long as well. I sold my old bike (Giant TCR) last year, and bought this bike. But have been doing a lot more mountain biking lately so haven't touched it. I've been wanting the wheels for like ever, but finally decided to get them! Actually, I think my wife decided to finally let me get them so she can stop hearing me cry about it!  |

Do you know if they are trying to get them on the UCI list? |

I'll ask him.....but that was a year ago so they may have taken steps toward it ....but as of now I know they still aren't on the list. Edited by Left Brain 2015-04-29 11:25 AM |

| Member 40 Pearland, Ohio | Subject: RE: Bike porn - new flo wheels!!! Nice looking bike & setup, but shouldn't you buy a new saddle before you buy new wheels? I'm going on the assumption you are uncomfortable with the current saddle. I would think you would want that solved first so you can actually ride your bike. |

Veteran 720 Aurora, Illinois | Subject: RE: Bike porn - new flo wheels!!! The seat isn't actually uncomfortable. I've done up to 80 miles I think so far in a ride, and felt fine on it. The challenge is getting into tri-season, I'm going to put some clip-on aero bars on it and road seats aren't terribly comfortable in a TT position; so that's where the new saddle will come into play! |

I'll ask him.....but that was a year ago so they may have taken steps toward it ....but as of now I know they still aren't on the list. Believe this is due to the carbon part being a fairing. In that it is not structural, so that violates UCI rules. Same for things like disc covers, those are fairings. HED avoids these by bonding the carbon shell to the wheel and claiming it is structural. I could be totally mis-remembering things too. I looked into this a little bit because some of the local'ish road races and TT's follow UCI rules. But then my bike team got a sponsorship by FSA/Vision and I switched to their wheels and sold my Flo's. |

| 538 Brooklyn, New York | Subject: RE: Bike porn - new flo wheels!!! Bad a$$ setup, bad a$$ color scheme. Very jealous You mentioned you sold your Giant TCR. How many miles (races?) did you put on it? How was your long term experience with it? That's my current ride, and though stiff, I enjoy it's race handling. Edited by TJHammer 2015-05-01 6:00 PM |

Veteran 720 Aurora, Illinois | Subject: RE: Bike porn - new flo wheels!!! Here's the ol girl the Giant I sold last year. I liked that bike! It was a stiff bike it it was actually really comfortable and responded well on downhills, climbed just as good. Only reason I sold it was because I wanted a new one and new power meter (which I have yet to get!). Other then that it was a great bike.
