Strengths:    spins up, keeps speed well, fast...etc etc.

Weaknesses:    >20mph cross wind isn't their friend

Bottom Line:   
bad @$$ wheels! I have the clincher version..not a tubular believer. Although they are a tad hefty @~1800g, it's worth the aero-ness. Once up to speed (above 17mph) they keep speed very well. Smooth road feel, sounds awesome, smooth hub, great looking wheel gotta have great engine to go with them!

Strengths:    Solid wheels so far, fast, comfortable, light enough for hilly races and surprisingly stable given than I'm 140lbs. Price in my case!!!

Weaknesses:    THey do let you get blown around in cross winds, I'd consider using a 303 front on windy races for athletes my size.

Bottom Line:   
Got these for an amazing price otherwise I'd be spending the rest of my life on the couch. Very fast and comfortable for 1/2 and Full Ironman racing. Tubulars mounted up easily and they seem to hold momentum really well. I had 303's previously which I liked for climbing as My tri bike is sluggish compared to a roadie but these climb almost aswell but are way faster on flats.

Strengths:    Stiff, fast and lets the compition know you mean business. Mayor plus is these are UCI legal, so they can be used in road races. Very light!

Weaknesses:    Not wheels for the very windy days :-)

Bottom Line:   
These wheels are awesome. I can see why Fabian Cancellara rides almost nothing else. Used to think my 404's were fast, these are way, way faster. The sound coming off them also inspires you to go even faster. Just awesome!!

Hey all, My Zipp 808s appear to be rolling true, but when I apply brakes, there is a pulsating that results in poor stopping at best, locking up at worse. Anyone else have this   Read More »
