I’m heading to a swap meet this weekend and looking for opinions on which of the following wheelsets to keep and which to sell. My goal is to get some cash, and keep a decent set for training and racing. I’ll be doing sprints and Olympic distance this season….and these days compete mostly for fun rather than podium places and likely back to IM distance next year.
Set 1: Dura-Ace 9000 c50 clincher (set) +
Shimano Pro clincher disc (for races)
Set 2: Enve 8.9 clincher DT 240 hubs
Set 3: Bontrager Aeolus 5 d3 carbon (2014)
I’m leaning toward the Dura Ace c50 for training and racing and keeping the disc for races.
I like the aluminum braking surface of the c50s and could use the Pro disc if conditions warrant. I’d also like to maximize cash and figure it may be better to sell the Enves and Bontrager this year as disc brakes are becoming more popular.
So really, I’m weighing if the Enve’s or Bontragers are that much better/ faster than the C50 and C50 disc combo where it’s worth keeping one of them.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
