Finally got a chance to order. Reminds me of registering for Iceman mtb race hitting refresh for 10 minutes before it should officially open.

Waiting for the 30s... I'll try and likely fail in Preorder 6. Then try again in Preorder 7.

Tried to complete my order at 1:02 p.m. EST and the discs were already gone. BOO! I was fortunate enough to get a front 90 though.

Well if you get a set in preorder 6 and I don't, I'll be coming after you punk.

I had a weird glitch where my cart showed it was empty, but everything showed up at checkout.
Now the wait begins...

Did not know it would open early so i logged in right at 10am PST. All discs where gone in those first two minutes it seems.
I even tried taking the pink units but they were no longer available. =(

Got my 60/90 set, first set of aero wheels. I was super excited until I saw this thread and notice everyone else is 90/disc... you guys ride deep.

There must be a run on the discs, as I logged in late (like 12+ mins after) and had no problems getting a Flo60 front. I even had plenty of time to register for a new account and double check my order.

Got in as well. 60/60 stealth. Use a pt rear wheel, bought the 60 just in case. Found a glitch though. Everytime (3 tries) I put in one 60 rear, it automatically put two in the cart. I wrote a note with my order to fix it, but hit submit anyway. Not worried, just throwing that out there in case I need to sell a 60 rear in a couple of weeks :)

I'm hoping that the 30's will be a little quicker ramping up production than the other wheels since they don't have to worry about bonding a fairing and, judging by the price, their costs to produce each unit should be smaller.

Whoa! $900 for a set! Didn't they use to be somewhere in the 600's or 500's for a set, or was that just what they were targeting?

Same thing here. I also didn't realize I'd have to first register as a customer. But I got my 60s!

Every since I've been checking (2 months or so), they've been advertised at the prices they went for today. But are you really complaining you just got a sweet set of carbon aero wheels for $900??? I'd change that "whoa!" to a "wahoo!!!".

where did you see $900 for a set? I assumed you were talking about the FLO 30's but likely meant the regular wheels. Nevermind....

After adding TWO discs to my order, and frantically removing one, I got mine! :-)

I hope the hubs are upgradeable to 11sp in the future...

On a whim decided to check the pre-order out while on a crappy wifi connection in a coffeeshop. Their shoppingcart software seems broken, but nevertheless I managed to scoop up a front 60. That settles my question in the thread I started yesterday...

And if the wife's upset: it may appear in the classifieds soon :-)

60 front and rear still available. No more 90's or discs. Interesting how their last round of testing said "buy a 60" and now everyone wants a 90.

Managed to get a disc and 90 front/90 rear.
Had a smart strategy I think...ordered the disc alone before going back for the two 90's. Not sure if shipping is based per wheel or per order but I may go back and ask them to combine the order.

Site started to really slow down 2 minutes in. Going back for the 90/90 was rough. Had 5 wheels in my cart at one point lol

Same here. Didn't even bother with the 90. Although as quick as these things sell maybe thats the safe way to do it. Buy one, checkout. Wait until the next presale, buy the second.

Yeah...the first time I hit checkout, my cart had $2000 of wheels, whoops.
I had firefox open and signed in as a standby, so I switched over to that. Then readded the wheels (one click this time), went straight to checkout since the cart was acting weird and paid!
They are doing something right...making customers excited and happy to drop hundreds/thousands of dollars.

Finally stopping the shaking!! Got a disc to go with previous 60 - phew. Thought I messed up, clicked the wrong shipping and had to go back and change it. Seriously, shaking... man, that was a rush :-)

Front 60s still on sale! (I think everything else is sold out)

I do think they're onto something with this hype-it business model though. I toyed with the ideas of FLOs for the last few months, but never got the must-have urge to buy. THen I saw that they were going in like <12 minutes in the prior sale, and it was suddnely "gotta get it NOW." I fully admit that without that sense of urgency, I never would have clicked that buy button - would have put off that wheel purchase indefinitely, as I have for the past 4 years.

Nice to know I'm gonna have a front 60 to match my aerojacket rear + PT now though. Schweet.

I guess that must have just been what they were targeting. Or maybe it was $500 per wheel and not $500 per set.

It's because your clock on your PC is slow. The countdown pulls from YOUR PC time. Go in and change your time a few hours back and watch the contdown ticker.

Here is a tip for the future Class of Pre-Order 6. Make sure your time is correct. Sync with a USNO NTP server. More than likely your PC's clock is slow. -Class of Pre-Order 3.

I was part of pre-order 1 and got a 60/disc for around $820 total I think.

ZackCapets,

In I think 2009 or 2010 we started with that idea. For ever a year now however, the prices have been the same.

For pre-order 1 Only, you could get a non-disc set for $800 plus shipping. Ever since then it has been $900.

Shot Jon from Flo an email about the glitch, adding two wheels with one click, he wrote back and said no worries, they'll adjust my order. Great service. One of their busiest days of the year during the busiest times and he responds right away. Awesome.

I'm in the same boat. Accidentally got two wheels in one cart. I sent an email but didn't expect to hear anything for a little bit. I'm actually surprised you did hear back so quickly. Hopefully my order can get adjusted also, but from everything I've seen and heard, I'm sure it will all work out.

I'm guessing you have already been taken care of by this point? If not please give Jon or I a call and we'll get you squared away.

Anyone else still waiting on their wheels? I apparently hit standard shipping during the frenzie and have been forced to wait. Sucks. I leave for Texas Tuesday night, hopefully they get here with time enough to take some practice rides.

2679. I emailed a few days ago and Jon said not to worry. He had told me my wheels had shipped out on that Monday and could take 2-10 days. But I'm a worry kind of guy so I thought I'd check to see if anyone else was still waiting.

You should have received an update email from Jon by now. Your wheels are still on the way.
