I’m a bit lighter, but my experience of going from 32 spoke fairly heavy weight to 18 spoke Zipp 202’s (talking about the front here) was that for the first few minutes the lack of rigidity is surprising- and not very welcome. And then it fades away and the steering is just the steering again. I think I was 80ish kg and both wheel sets were tubs- had them on the Serotta CSi.
Thought about asking the question in the sale thread but dont want to derail it, really tempted by them..
These wheels
weight limit is stated as 110kg
But can a heavy rider like me(currently 95kg) really get away with running wheels that light?
Would they just feel a bit noodle-y under me?
I always fantasise about having some ultra light wheels but would it be realistic for me?
