Zipp Speed Weaponry 808 Tubular

Price Paid:  $1400.00 at Gear West MN

Favorite Ride:
Anything off the Trainer!!!

Bike Setup:
Cervelo P2C, Dura Ace, Speedplay, xlab, 808's.

Summary:
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:
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.

Favorite Ride:
As long as the tar is good...then it's all good!

Bike Setup:
Cervelo SLC-SL, SRM Pro PowerMeter, Zipp 808, Shimano Dura-Ace, Zero Gravity Brakes

Summary:
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!!

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 :-)
