Advise on wheels

[Oscarg]

I would like to purchase a new set of wheels, and even though the subject about wheels may have been
discussed in this forum to nauseaum, I still would like to hear some input. I am mostly interested
on wheels with a 40-50 mm rim deep. The wheels will be used for racing and training

Need some suggestions or opinions on the following wheels: Zipp 404, or 303's Spinergy's Tilium
Carbon Mavic Carbone Mavic Ksyriums

Thanks in advance. Oscar G Texas Lone Star Racing (TSLR)

Oscar,

My honest recommendtion would be to buy a set of HED3 trispokes (faster than Zipps, etc.) for
racing, and buy a set of $175 training wheels (Ultegra or 105 hubs, any rim).

I have the 404's, and I wouldn't recommend them for every day training. I also found trispokes to be
faster, but thats just my personal opinion.

Best advice is to take this to rec.bicycles.tech or rec.bicycles.marketplace. Both are more
appropriate newsgroups.

Why not find a good wheel builder and have them design a wheelset specifically for you and
your needs??

Instead of a wheelset outta a box that will cost a bunch more and perform the same?

Read the newsgroup charter and you will see why you are wrong.
