Can you validate my wheel choice ?
Hi everyone !

I used your precious advices to improve a bit my position on the bike, and now I'd like to change my wheels. I currently use 38mm Easton 90 tubular wheels ( aprox. 1300g) on my Scott plasma 5. I weight around 80kg, FTP around 300 to 310 w. My current CDA is shit. I live in France, so unfortunatly Renn 555 is not a great option ( VAT+ shipping will kill the price). It looks like I can't add a wheel cover to my 38mm with my frame from what I read on aerojacket website.

My budget is around 1000€ max, and here is the selection I have made :

- A corima CN disc wheel for 750€ : https://winstanleysbikes.co.uk/...n-tubular-rear-wheel

- A used ( but like new) 85 mm American Classic 2017 for 250€ : http://image.noelshack.com/...62294741106688-n.jpg
I also was considering a second hand Zipp 900, but they are a bit hard to find in good conditions and they are around 900€.

My concern was that I heard some people complain about the fragility of the Corima disc, any opinion about that ? I'm a heavy rider, I intend to use the wheel in some training sessions in addition to the races and the roads where I train are far from perfect.

Thank you for you help
