I rode my 404 clincher's on a 50 mile training ride this weekand, as I got them about two weeks ago and this was my first long ride on them, before I go back to my traing wheels and put the Zipp's away for racing. I know most of the forum is hell bent on tubular's and would say what a mistake I made with the clincher's although this is the route I wanted to go, I might try the Tufo tubular clincher's. After my first long ride on these wheels I noticed I was averaging about 1-1 1/2 MPH faster on the 404's than on my Richey's that came on my Cervelo. I thought this was great, as my heart rate was the same as my other training rides. Now I can see why people go out and spend 1,000 plus on racing wheels, these wheels felt great. Thank you everyone for all your help....
