Good thread. I've in the market for new wheels and was leaning towards a 404NSW front and 808NSW rear... but now I'm reading more about ENVE's new 7.8
Anyone have opinion on the stability of the front wheels for the ENVE 7.8 vs the 808? I was running a set of firecrest 808s a few years ago but I really cant handle the wind gusts, very unnerving when going fast speeds with gusts.. .So I switched it to 404/808 combo which worked much better.. I read the new NSW 808 have improved the stability a little (by like 10%) but thats probably not enough for me to ride confidently in windy conditions... Wondering if the 7.8 will do better since the RIM depth is 10mm less..
Also, what's everyone's opinion on the braking power of comparison?
And lastly, I'm really leaning towards the NSW because the new decals are sick!!! Feels like they arent even there.
