Bump ..

general consensus on that would probably be get the 404's + a disc cover and save the Disc $$.......

Too many unanswered questions. What kind of races are you doing? Do your kids have shoes? Etc.

The "science" on any matter can never be settled until every possible variable is taken into account.

I have shoes and no kids!

I also like the idea of a disc cover with the Zipp set!
Where can I find disc/wheel cover??

A

have you considered a Renn disc for a fraction of the cost? buy the 404s if they are such a good deal.

the disc covers are at the bottom of his main page. I just bought one today.

Thanks for the info!!

I just did some calculation on weight:

Zipp 404:

F: 539g
R: 679g

Ch aero wheel cover: 540g

so R+C = 1319g!!!

Isn't that a bit heavier than the HED heavy standard disc?

Does the aero-gain really outweight the weight?

A

YES! In literally all cases except an uphill TT with an average grade of more than ~6%. A disc is a faster choice than any other wheel in any triathlon on earth. Yes, I am aware that they are Not Legal In Kona
