Subject: Help choosing a set of budget aero wheels Hey guys! This is my 3rd year on BT, but my first time on the forums. Just became a Silver Member to I can bump up my training.
Anyway, down to the meat. I raced the past 2 years on a basic Specialized Allez road bike. I kept it stock my first year. Last year, I upgraded to 105 Hollowtech 2x10, some Ritchey DS Pros, and a Deda stem and bars. Getting the weight down was really nice for my sprints. This year, I'm building a tri bike. I got a great deal on a 2005 Specialized Transition Comp frame. I'm using several parts off my old bike, and I have new stuff coming in. My concern is my wheels. I know that aero wheels can make a HUGE impact on the speed of my sprints as well as helping me with my endurance as I progress towards an olympic distance. (My goal is to do my first half in 2 years ).
Anyway, long story short, can someone give me a few budget aero wheel suggestions? As much as I'd love to get into a set of 404s, it's just not going to happen this year. My brother has a set of Reynolds Aero Race (the good ones ) on the way. I'm anxious to see how they perform, especially for what he paid. The Easton Tempest II look nice, but they're still a little pricey. I'm looking at $500 or less.
Thanks for he help, happy training!
