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
These HED wheels will be a big hit with the MUP warriors who swerve around kids and dogs in their aero tucks while training for the local sprint race.
I've never seen kit that bling on an MUP, but have seen triathletes riding. I cannot think of a worse place for a triathlon bike. I'm usually on a run as I use the MUP on the bike only as a cut thru to get to the gravel riding.
No, the 1080 was a Zipp wheel and not anywhere near as deep as the HED 180. The rim depth of the 1080 is 111mm, the HED is...well as it says on the wheel, 180mm deep. That's a HUGE difference.
Brain fart; I swapped Zipp and HED in my... head. Clearly.
But still, the intent is the same, even if more extreme.
