Does anyone have any experience with this wheelset? I was previously (and still am for the moment) on zipp 404s (firecrest approx 2 years old). I know the front hub is under recall (and won't be able to get this addressed until after my upcoming race due to time constraints). My new bike came with the Visions. I am uncertain which way to go for my upcoming race. I know....nothing new on race day. I have about 2 weeks before my race. I've never had any problems with the 404s. My fear is that the deeper wheel may cause me to be a bit more unstable with a cross wind. I do have a set of 808s as well but haven't used them due to this fear. I don't really know anything about the Vision wheels. I was told by the shop that they are better than the Zipps and recommended that I at least give them a try. Any personal experience out there??

I have two sets of the 40s I use for training going on a year of hard use on both my road and Tri bike. The hubs are great and I like the wider profile to run 25mm tires with.

No experience with the 81s, but I have thought about them for race day wheels.

thanks...I've posted here are ST and this is the first response I've had. Was starting to think that no one had any experience with Vision. I know there are more popular brands but was really surprised that no one responded.

"These wheels are really fast and we can prove it with our tests from the A2 Wind Tunnel. We developed an ultra-fast modified V-Notch rim shape which keeps drag to an minimum."

It depends on your preference and what's important to you. I'll list some of the beliefs that are out there and comment on a few.
