Great Deal! I'm very interested but have a question about the difference between the SS and PBO spokes. Basically, which is faster? The SS seems like it might be more areo but weigh alittle more. Are the hubs of different quality? Over the long run are the SS easier to maintain, repair and keep true? Aside from a more comfortable ride why get the PBO spokes?

Thanks

The difference in price is directly related to the PBO spokes. I ride the SS's and also the Xaero PBO's, cannot tell the difference, I believe the carbon rims absord most of the shock, then the stainless bladed black spokes absorb the rest

I would go for the SS's as they are a great deal, around a grand less than 404's (on sale right now) and awesome performance, if you want a little bit lighter wheel then go for the PBO model

Gary,


Do those wheels come with skewers? And you may reply to my post on the other forum first, but does the rim depth include braking surface, or is that in addition to? Thanks.


-The coolness manifesto, it's close, really.

Is there a rider weight limit for either of these wheelsets? Sounds like a great deal.

Now weight limit they I have heard of, these wheels are beasts - bombproof - handle cyclocross out here in SoCal with ease

Faster? It is a personal preference on PBO or SS, but I will say that they are about the same in aerodynamics.
