I ride my 404's all the time also becuase my powertap is laced in the 404 rims. What I won't do again is travel on a plane with them as I managed to crack a rear rim (or it could have been my poor wheelbuilding/ poor LBS wheel service). Otherwise I don't see how training can really hurt them. In my experience you need to use the ZIPP ultra thin rim tape or getting any decent tires on the clinchers is a nightmare. The ZIPP valve extenders suck and need to be replaced right away with proper standard twist top ones.

I've had no direct experience with the Zipp clinchers directly to comment on the velox/zipp combo. But i've used Velox on plenty of clinchers, and it works perfectly.
It would be my first choice for the next time I need rim tape (though I ride tubulars now, or clinchers that don't require tape). |
