I am feeling optimistic today about racing later in the year (ask me tomorrow and I may not be - but I will take the positivity right now). That being said, I am putting together a disc / tubeless set up for triathlon racing. Right now I only have training rims (just moved to disc brakes).
In terms of the rear wheel (based on the numerous recent threads), I am convinced enough that a disc is faster and more stable in the rear. Is there any reason not to go with a flo disc?
For the front I am trying to stay within a total budget of about 1500 (so about 750 left). I am planning for moderate to windy conditions (most races I do are coastal) and I am a light rider (less than 130 even on a heavy day). For a point of reference, I could handle 50mm Bontragers but would not mind a little improvement. Hed Vanquish seem to be the front runner but I am having some trouble finding them (availability). Any other suggestions? I would like to keep the depth in the 40-60mm range.
I am also all ears as to Tubeless tires. I am leaning toward Schwable Pro One or Conti 5000's in the width recommended by the wheel maker.
Your collective thoughts and opinions are appreciated.
