Aeolus 5 comp vs Aeolus xxx 6
Quote | Reply
Currently have the comp 5 on the front, as my bike came with them. Have a disc on the back. I work at a Bontrager dealer, so I can get a sick deal on the xxx6 But is it an upgrade that’s worth it? The xxx6 will be lighter, but it’s only a 60mm rim vs the 50mm of the comp 5. Would it save me 30 sec in a half iron?

I wore out the hubs on my old fives in 4-5000 miles. Got the Xxx6 now, they “feel” more solid for sure. Doubt they are much faster, if You’re only using it for racing, don’t bother.

Hell yeah. I've borrowed my coach's old 7 and the new XXX 6, and it's worth it for the brake track alone. The added stability is a nice bonus - the XXX6 is a wheel I'd take anywhere in terms of depth and stability, and the braking is superb.
