I am interested in finding a relatively durable (I know bulletproof is asking too much), lightweight, aero carbon wheel to use as an everyday wheel with a Powertap SL 2.4. Right now, my bike is nice and light (15.1 lbs) and I don't want to start putting on heavy training type wheels.
I have been advised against considering Zipp 303 clinchers by two LBS, given that some of our typical training loops can be a bit broken up and rough in sections. I looked at Bontrager Aeolus, but they are real expensive and I don't know much about durability. Currently, I am riding Ksyrium ES as my everyday wheel for solo and group rides, which I like and so far, it is staying reasonably true after 1000 km. I weigh around 150 lbs. Unfortunately, as I can't put a PT hub on the Ksyrium, I am looking for a lightweight alternative, preferably with an aero rim.
Compared to Zipp, the HED Jet wheels are hyped as a relatively durable wheel, that may be up to everyday use. (THe HED website says that the Jet could be considered as durable as a traditional 32 spoke wheelset ???)The Canadian distributor said he tried to trash a pair but was unsuccessful. I would be considering the Hed Jet 50, 700 C wheel and was wondering whether anyone could comment on their experience with this wheel. Is anyone using it for everyday training/racing ? Any problems ?
