Considering my first set of race wheels and wanted some feedback. I'm looking at new clinchers for triathlons (and potentially some road races). I'm 6'2" 175-180 if that matters.
The two options I'm considering are:
1) Mavic Cosmic Carbone SL clinchers
2) HED Jet 6's or Jet 6/9 combo
Not looking to spend ZIPP money. SRAM's are more expensive than both Hed and Mavic.
If I'm not mistaken, the HED wheels have the same toroidal rim shape as ZIPP/SRAM, whereas the Mavic does not. Weight between Carbone SL and Jet 6/9 seems like a wash and I'm not too worried about this anyway. Is there a significant difference aerodynamically between the Mavic and Carbone?
Anyone race tri's on a set of the Carbone SL clinchers and have experiences, good or bad? These will be used for sprint through HIM races this year and probably IMWI 2010.
Thanks in advance.
