I have a Hed Stinger I am looking to trade for maybe a Zipp 808, planet X 82 or similar of same depth- clincher or tub... I bought this as a set with the Zipp 900 from a riding buddy a couple of weeks ago and realized that while the 900 will work, I am a couple (okay a few HA!) pounds over the "recommended weight limit" for the front. My friend bought the wheel new, did a couple of TT's with it then as he describes was bitten by the CX/MTB bug. I am unsure of the vintage but I think it is an '11 or '12. I peeled the decals off but have posted a photo of the wheel with just for reference. It is a "wide" rim as I had to open my caliper completely for the wheel to fit. The wheel spins smooth, round and true... it has a nice Vittoria Corsa EVO CX glued on...

what i understand from Zipp and Hed websites is a 210lb limit for the Hed, 250lb for 808's (firecrest), 240lb for Planet X 82's... both of which are substantially more than the Hed, and within range for my Clyde self :)
I am sure I would be okay on it- I assume the suggested weight limits are on the conservative side- however as a fat guy leaning over the front of a TTbike I would rather play it on the safe side :)
