I'm looking for a set of race wheels to go on my new P5 disc, and I've narrowed the choice down to either the Zipp 808 NSW/disc combo or the Enve SES 7.8/Disc combo (disc brakes on both). I'll probably run them as clincher (tubed) in the near-term, as that's what I'm more comfortable with at the moment but I don't discount the possibilty that I may go tubeless down the road. On paper, the two wheelsets stack up pretty comparably. Both have a 19mm internal rim width, so I'm guessing the aerodynamically ideal tire should be pretty similar on both.
Is there any reputable data that shows one wheelset to be faster than the other? I've read through part of the Hambini s&*$%show thread (as much as I could stomach) and place exactly zero credence on any of his data.
Other deciding factors? Anecdotes I've read here seem to indicate that folks like the Enve hubs better than the Zipp hubs. That's tempered with stories of Enve rims delaminating if run tubeless with the wrong rim tape (yikes). Overall, I'm struggling to choose one over the other based on anything other than aesthetics and/or perception of resale value (not a big deal to me as I plan to keep them for a while).
Thoughts?
