Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I moved the wheels to my Trek now we should be even for pricing and funny enough its still 12.05lbs with pedals.



I am actually looking at a set of zipp 303's for my road bike.. how are you liking yours? are they fairly stiff? I like to sprint short distances and climb out of the saddle, and most wheels I can usually get a bit of brake rub from flexing, i'm also 200lbs lol probably doesn't help.

I'm 203lbs and have no brake rub. 3800 miles this year and they are still straight and true.

I have a set of 303 tubulars on my road bike (see earlier post in this thread). They have some deflection for sure. I have to keep my rear caliper a little bit more open to compensate or else they rub. Weight doesn't matter - I'm 143lb and they rub with any hard effort. My 202s are the same.

Underneath all the Look decals is a 2008 585. What is the deal? Did they order too many decals?

Don't know if these are disqualified for having white trim/decals -- but they are as black as the hole in my heart to my eyes





I know this is an MTB - but it is evil personified
