Carbon wheel options

lizzylad84

Lookin at getting a set of wheels for use mainly for duathlons and triathlons. Was looking at Planet X 82/101 tubs but there not available at the minute.
Would anyone recommend any other dealers that do decent prices? Or alternatively anybody successfully bought of any eBay sellers?

Duathlons? Triathlons?

I mean time trials, lots of time trials

Stupid advice, the guy's simply looking for opinion on bicycle wheels on the cycling form. He is not asking questions about triathlons or duathlons, so no need to be cheeky by redirecting him elsewhere.

My apology. I wasn't aware, that only one joke per thread was allowed.

Given that he started a new thread in the triathlon forum after your reply, obviously not everyone got your "joke".

Anyway, enough of this and back to the topic at hand....

And I see, he got some good advice, there.

Actually he'd responded to a previous comment not Eamonnators. But I'm sure he greatly appreciated your crusade on his behalf.

What is a cycling form?

White knights all around boards tonight.

OP, I've a set of campagnolo wheels, nothing as fancy as those bora ultras (but I'd certainly consider trading my left kidney/arm/first born son for them), and i couldn't recommend them highly enough.

strange situation in ireland whereby time trialing is seen as something only to be done in between a swim and a run, whereas in most other countries it's as much a part of cycling and bike racing as any other discipline. good discussion on it over here

anyway, as a result, most cyclists are looking for strong light wheels, not necessarily ideal for tt. weight is less important unless you are doing a very hilly tt. There was some discussion here, which may help a little

the flow wheels are supposed to be very good. you've just missed their sale though, so would have to wait for another one. the other option is to wait for a few weeks, end of race season is fast approaching and there is likely to be some wheels coming up 2nd hand on here, tends to be after the season finishes

Do you really want to get into the business of highlighting typos or bad grammar in each other's posts, because I've already posted elsewhere in this very thread with "forum" spelt correctly.

The slot for ridiculous self righteousness is already occupied!

@OP out of curlywurlyosity is this for a TT or road bike? I seem to recall reading some things about the physics of TT bikes that would suggest that the outcomes of a particular set of wheels might vary between road and TT?
