Aero Wheelset
Which are better wheelsets, Zipp Flashpoints or Mavic Carbone SL?
I just bought a Cervelo P2C TT/Tri bike and am looking to purchase a deep dish/aero wheelset. I love the Zipp 404 & 808 series wheels but can't bring myself to shell out the huge chunk of change just for "race day only" wheels. Zipp Flashpoints are a cheaper alternative, but wondering if the durability is the same as their traditional Zipp series counterparts. I've also come across Mavic Carbones which I am told can be ridden for both training and racing which is a must. I want a wheelset that is aerodynamicly efficient, yet can be used on training rides. Any suggestions?
I would go with the Mavic wheel set.
