G'day folks
I've been tooling around on American Classic 420s wheels for the last 8 months for races and have found them wanting in stiffness, responsiveness and strength. I am continually getting them trued. So I am seriously considering purchasing a different set of race wheels.
I'm pretty sure I'd rather stay with clincher wheels and judging the profiles of most of the races I do, I think that something more aerodynamic and stiff than light would be better.
The main ones I have been looking at are Zipp 404 and Bontrager Race Xtra lite Aeros.
I've heard that the 404s had warping problems and after sales customer service issues, but I don't know many people who ride the Bontragers. Are there any views on the strength and outright speed of these wheels?
Cheers
