I looked around and didn't see the information I was looking for on the forums so thought I'd start a thread.
I put the $1500 price on in it because I figured if I put "money is no object" somebody would have found some obscure $8000 wheel...
I want a good Aero wheel for some possible flat ground, haul-ass rides I might be involved with this summer. Mostly flat, and slightly rolling 20 mile and 40 mile stuff.
I want a good, the pros use it (for good areodynamic and weight reasons, not because it was free), kick ass wheel. not some $150 left over eBay wheel. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I came close to picking one up a few times and thought, Hmm, $400 for a used 6 year old wheel, or likely $1000 for a new one that is likely to be lighter and faster. I'd be more interested in the new one.
Let me know what you think, I'm gonna buy an aero wheel, and need some opinions before I spend the long green on something I'm only partly familar with.
