Hi all,
I’m tossing up between two new (to me) wheelset: Jet 6 (not Black) and Bora One 55 (2017 model) and thoughts and advice from you erstwhile posters would be appreciated. Particularly if either wheelset is an everyday set. They would be my everyday wheels.
Both have pros and cons, given my riding. They’ll be for my roadie (2016 Cervelo S3) only, which I use for mixed riding, usually involving hills, ranging anywhere from 6-20%. Hills are my main reason for wanting to upgrade: OE Mavics have brake rub on heavier climbs out of the saddle and they don’t roll well on descents, freewheeling less than friends’ wheels.
My thoughts are:
Hed: better aero, aluminium brake track, loved on ST. But heavier, risk of damaging fairing. Unsure what tyre width would fit in my frame.
Campy: lighter, great hubs based on experience with Fulcrum, rigid fairing. But poorer aero, poorer braking (although allegedly decent for carbon), more fiddly and expensive maintenance.
