p-38 wheels and tires

Frank Hanan said:

Hello, I am a newbie to the forum but thought that this might be the appropriate place to gather
info about my p-38 bent.I am presently riding with stock wheels on a xt version. In an effort to
gain a bit mre speed I am considering a change to a better wheel and tire group, maybe even an
aero. I have looked at some different types, namely Zipp( but they don't make a 406 ), I've
checked Hed and Aerospoke. Of course I generally end up confusing my self and do nothing.
Therefore If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. Frank

You could consider adding wheel discs.

Frank: if you've got the $$ go ahead and get the HEDs I bought a P-38 with HEDs already installed,
and this is the fastest bike I have ridden configured this way.

Recently I purchased a slightly used wheelset from the infamous Kelly Wayne Hill (see recumbent
spam). The rims are Velocity and the hubs are Chris King. Though not Aero by any means, I find these
very suitable for weekend jousts with the DF's. A noticable improvement over the stock.

Frank, Try the Thracian wheelset from Velocity. velocityusa.comvelocityusa.comOpen ↗

Check under Wheels>>>Road (not under recumbent which is just rims). They are much lighter than the
wheels you mentioned and more affordable. Comes in a 559/406 combo. This is what I put on my Giro
built up from a frame set.

Good luck, Don

I hope he was not getting airborne with the wheels. < groups.google.comgroupsOpen ↗
