Hi guys,
I ride an '08 Madone 5.0 with the stock wheels. Recently got into triathlon so i'm looking to get some aero wheels. After poking around a bit it seems like my wallet's only going to stretch as far as the Aeolus 5.0 ACC or the Dura Ace C50s(Clincher versions)
Bontrager: Aeolus 5.0 ACC (Model #08807)
I've tried the C50s on a friend's bike, but i was wondering if anyone here has any opinion on the Bontragers? Any comments much appreciated 🙂
My girlfriend has been trying them out. She likes em. As one of the few aero wheel options out there with an aluminium braking track, they're well worth considering.
I got a pretty good deal on-line for some Fast Forward F6Rc wheels. Again, carbon rims with alloy brake track, but also with DT swiss hubs, spokes and nipples; and hand built. I went for these because the price was right and becasue I can swap cassette carriers to match Shimano/SRAM or Campagnolo cassettes. You can't do that with either the ACCs or the Shimanos.
hey tafi, thanks for replying.
i got a pretty sweet deal on a pair of 2nd hand aeolus 5.0 carbon clinchers and they are just terrific.
good point about the cassette swap; i had no idea.
But you can do the swap with the normal Aeolus 5 (pre 2009) They should have paired spokes and DT hubs.
