Lightweights only managed third needing an extra 11 watts of power to get them up to speed (48kmph)

Fastest Clincher - Campag Neutron

That's all I'm saying - read the test tomorrow and let the arguments begin :-)

sorry, i don't really trust dura ace wheels after i learnt that T-Mobile broke all their dura ace wheels before the Tour de France, and their replacements during it.

Thats why they're rolling on Zipps or Lightweights!

New Dura Ace look the business. Particularly the ones with the carbon / alloy mixed low profile rims.....

They are still Â£600 though...

Check out Cav's weapons of choice! Look at the hubs if you dont believe me, oh and the spokes, and the shape of the rim...!!

I have now read the article fully, I've gotta say, I 100% agree with what they say about Zipps. I can't speak for any of the other wheelsets. But the evaluation of the Zipps is spot on. So, no arguments from me on the matter. For once :wink:

For political reasons we never really give anything 10 cos it leaves you with nowhere to go - I mean, if you gave a bike 10/10 then next year you rode a bike that just had that certain 'something' unquantifiably 'better' about it, what could you do? Turn it up to 11 like Spinal Tap?

Some companies just don't want to play

Afraid of the truth perhaps?

"We're doing a BIG wheel test, do you want to send us a pair of X wheels."

Answer A: "Blimey thats a load of free publicity, how many pairs do you want?"

Answer B: "F*** **f, I'm not risking the likelihood that our wheels get beaten by a pair that costs half the price"

You get the picture? :-o
