Carbon rim too?

Because if carbon disc plus AL rim works, Renn makes one that is pretty well regarded.

Yea full carbon just like the zipp

Reynolds

Shimano/pro, lightweight, dash, vision, ffwd, reynolds...

Shimano makes a carbon clincher disc?

I can only find alloy clincher disc
http://www.pro-bikegear.com/.../disc-wheel-clincher

Tubies are carbon, clincher is alloy

1590g? ouch!

HED makes the Stinger Disc

edit: scratch that, I didn't read clincher in title for some odd reason

Well, you're 1/5, which I suppose isn't all that bad.

Dished Wheels

2/5, which I suppose isn't all that bad.

FFWD - http://www.ffwdwheels.com/...els/tt-tri/disc-fcc/

Reynolds - http://www.reynoldscycling.com/wheels/element_v2

Anyone got any opinions on the Reynolds disc? I have the strikes and was thinking of getting a disc wheel so this seems like a natural choice for me.

dang well i tried!! lol

I think american classic make one aswell... reynolds disc looks good but is a bit heavier than the zipp super 9.
I have ridden on a zipp super 9 and was a really nice wheel, though sold it as i didnt need it at the time.
As mentioned HED make a carbon clincher disc aswell.
From what I know lightweight only make a tubular disc wheel (autobahn) which is fairly pricey, though is crazzeee light at 780gm's of rotational weight!

HED does not make a carbon clincher.

my bad... i remember now they only make the carbon tub. Cheers

OP was asking for a disc wheel, not a disc brake wheel.

Did you end up getting an Element? I have one - love it. Would love to sell my 10spd if you are keen (only reason is to get an 11spd to match my new drivetrain).... I am sticking with my Reynolds wheels for sure!

If you look a little further down at the bottom of the page it says the weight is 1390?

I didn't end up buying one in the end. I'll prob just rent a disc occasionally for races I'm particularly interested in.

What are the downsides to the Renn clincher disc assuming I am fine with Al braking track relative to spending a lot more for a Zipp Clincher disk?

I personally have not used the Renn, so I cannot give you my own experience.
But I doubt that there are any downsides to the Renn if it fits your needs.

so cheaper, a bit heavier, a bit less aero, so generally a cost vs performance tradeoff? But nothing really bad?

See if someone who rides a Renn chimes in, I know that many people seem happy with their Renn discs, but I can't say much more since I have not used one myself.

Got the Renn disc a few months back. Very happy with it and weight wise it was actually one of the lighter on the market. Needed a flat disc for my Kestrel 4000, other will not fit. Read up on all reviews I could find before buying it and could find only positive comments from other users. The previous model had some issues with the disc flexing but the current is more stiff.

Think the main difference is that it is a flat disc while many others including Zipp are not. There might be a small aero penalty to this, but some studies have shown that it depends on how the frame protects or exposes the rear wheel.

2019 T-Rex Tri Series

W/r to fit the Zipp Super 9 CC is essentially flat.

I keep reading conflicting arguments about disc wheels.

Is there a definitive advantage to discs over say a 808?

all else being equal, power to spin will be less

I have run a 5-7-5, 700c tubular rear wheel for mostly races only since about 2008.
Here's my .02:

Weight - not an issue, ever.

Lateral Stiffness - IS an issue on very hilly courses, or hard, out of saddles pulls.
For shorter races (more out of saddles efforts) and hilly courses, I would have to back the barrel adjuster way off to compensate for flex.
Define short, you say (this is ST) - I'd put it at anything under 60k/1.5 hour effort.
Again, flatter courses, not an issue. Long courses, not an issue.

Aero - Not my area of expertise vs. an 808, HED3 at varying yaw, etc., but
<pink> It's a disc, so it's got to be faster, right?<pink>

Overall, I've been very happy with it. I'm running a 22c Bontrager Race X Lite Pro that has a fairly low crr.
That being said, getting ready to sell it in favor of a wide rim with Powertap hub for power data.

He clearly pulled it from the website which had plenty of pictures on that page. Pretty bad for a dealer.

I didn't know a Rolf disc wheel existed, so thank you for that. It looks nice. It also looks prettty narrow which isn't too nice.
