A HED3 rear wheel sucks compared to a "normal" wheel, or one with a wheel cover. The hub is pretty terrible, all of them wobble, and it's less aerodynamic, and like 20mm wide. I hardly ever rode my rear wheel when I had a set. Your S80 with the wheel cover is faster.

Love mine, and they look ridiculously cool. Ride it.

I always like riding twin tri spokes... Bombproof, light, aero, never need to worry about spoke tension, looks good ... Disc cover could be nicer on the right wheel though

Those with the sonic hubs (from c. 2007, I think) were much better.

I have a H3 Deep rear wheel and it is a thing of beauty. But it also runs true and smooth.

thats the thing though - I had so many moments where I though my trispike would be fooked - but when I checked - perfect true - racewheels you can train on is the dream

Yes, agreed.

I have a pair of H3s that I bought used (pre-owned) in 1999. I still train on them with a pair of resilient tyres fitted (Conti attack or 4000s ii) and another pair (deep rear) for racing with supersonics on. I also have a disc wheel for flat, fast courses. But I’m uncertain that it really is a faster.

I love the look of the H3s and that deep version on the back looks stunning. With the right choice of pump chuck, there’s no messi g around with crack pipe things either.
