options for 650c wheelsets
Quote | Reply
Hello

I'm just getting back into triathlon after a bit of a hiatus. I have a 2013 Cervelo P2 with 650c wheels and would like to upgrade from the stock Easton Vistas. Problem is, no one seems to make 650C anymore. I have a pair of old Hed tri-spokes but they are super heavy and I seem to remember them being sketchy with windy conditions.

I can find used wheels but not sure what I'm looking for. Would a pair of zipp 404 or Hed Jet be "better" in terms of weight and speed than the Vistas or the trispokes?

What about the Yoeleo? They have a 650c carbon wheel 50mm rim depth that weighs roughly 650 grams with hub. very expensive though and I don't see too many reviews for them.

I am not a super techy with bikes! any help would be appreciated.

thank you

The owner will probably jump into this thread at some point, but everyone who buys these wheels seems to love them. Apparently they do quite well in the wind tunnel too.

I have a set of CSC 50mm Carbon Clinchers laying around that need a home.

You'll need brake pads for them. If interested send me a PM

I also ride a 650 c wheel bike and there are few options for wheels. I believe there are also places that make custom wheel sets. Now, to get 650 wheels with tubeless tires....

Probably not what you are looking for, but I have a set of 650 Corima 4 spoke race wheels I would part with.
edit to add, I think I might still have a 650 zipp disc as well, but will have to check my storage.

thanks but I have a three-spoke already and not keen on it. Sounds like this would be similar?

Your setting will not allow me to reply to your private message.

Our 659c wheels will fit your bike, you can run them as 10 speed or 11 speed. I also have some tires if you need them.

The Yoeleo are actually 650B's, not 650C's; if you look at the rim section picture, you'll see that ERD is 584mm, instead of 571mm.
I suggest to put an ez gains disc cover on the rear easton vista, and use the hed 3 spoke on the front. That's possibly the fastest set up for your bike. On windy days you could use the front vista, instead of the 3 spoke. The situation with tires is even worse, you will be forced to race with 23mm training tires; schwalbe one's and vittoria rubino's are ok but noticeably slower than the best 700c race tires.

Thank you for noticing the size difference! And yes tires are very difficult to find. I have the rubinos on now. Great suggestions for set up. Thank you.
