new zipp 858:
is expensive (no surprise) has bumps/ tubercles (no surprise) and is not that wide (surprise!)
24.4mm for 18 spokes/bumps 23.7mm for 24 spokes/bumps
so going narrow again Interesting if this is actually faster...
I guess Aerocoach were there first (23mm wide wheel, trips for spokes):
not that wide
30% wider than the 18mm wheels we had when we first started trying to make our wheels more aero
