With five weeks to go its time to start nailing down equipment.

I'm lucky enough to have access to a wide range of wheels from friends. The question is what would you use for a somewhat hilly course like Austria where the roads are good but I'm told "not France good".

Assuming a bike split of 5:00 to 5:30.

Front: Zipp 404, Zipp 808
Rear: Zipp 404, Zipp 808, Zipp 900 disc

I've gotten conflicting advice - from "Always use a disc, all faster bike splits with a disc" - to "Never use a disc, if you're not sub 4:45 you're not strong enough for a solid disc and will run cr@p".

What would you go with?
