Granted, this was the 2001-2002 version, so there could have been a layup difference. I've ridden Cane Creek Chronos with a 58mm rim and they were far stiffer, but different wheel and different lace up and all.The 2001-2002 Zipp 303's are completely different wheels than the new 303's that are out now. Obviously the Firecrest clinchers are completely different, but the 303 tubulars were redesigned in like 2009 to be 25mm wide. So you can't really compare stiffness of an old narrow 303, to the new ones.
