OK help me out here
Option A) Wheelsmith 60mm Carbon Clinchers
~1650g
24mm wide
60mm deep and torroidal
~£750
Available now
Option B) Flo 30s / CX Rays / BHS superlight hubs
~1700g
24mm wide
30mm deep and torroidal
Between £400 and £600 depending on customs, postage, build costs and ancillary stuff like skewers
The weight, waiting time and uncertainty about costs are putting me off the Flo wheels at the moment, and it seems like the Wheelsmith set might be a bit faster, slightly lighter and available now. Also, no silver breaking surface...
On the downside, Gigantex / Equinox don't post wind tunnel results and I might have to specific CX Rays at additional cost.
Someone just decide for me plz.
I'm ordering the vinyl wrap this week and will probably fit it (aka fuck it up) this Saturday for a Blue Egg run on Sunday.
