Foul for small chainring

I'm not one to obsess on wind tunnel data most of the time, but do the Hed 3's have better or worse results than Hed Jets or Zipp's? Anyone know?

Generally speaking, the H3's are suppose to be the best all around wheel on really windy days. Which is why you see a lot at Kona along with the Xentis Mark 1 wheels. I have the H3's here and the Bontrager Aeolus 9.0's!

If it's a day where the wind is off and on, I'll use the H3's or an H3 front and Aeolus rear.

On calm days all run the Aeolus front and back.

Overall, I love the H3's! They are fast wheels. I run the Bonty R4 Aero's (700x22) on them. If I had to choose 1 set, I'd go with the H3's.

Thats one sick ride!

1989 Olmo anniversary, Columbus SL tubing, 8-speed Campy with a 7+1 Shimano cassette. Should be finished tomorrow. Not bad for a cellar find.

Just finished the road conversion for the off-season. Sorry for the small ring and extra steerer tube!

Looks like spraypaint. Wicked.

How'd you get the gray-ish effect in between the layers?

You mind if I copy you? You're not worried about compromising the cf with the paint?

I'm thinking the lack of a chain would pose an even greater handicap... you could still kinda turn the cranks w/o pedals by just pushing carefully on one crankarm at a time in running shoes, but then no drive transfer to the rear wheel.

...and a chain.
All finished now, and a very pleasant 40km first ride it was too. I can´t say I noticed too much difference between high- and low-grade Columbus steel though. The bike rides really well and looks great in the sun.
Just need to sort out a slight issue with the 4th sprocket now, all the others index fine, just that one is a bit off.

All in , €248 (the wheelset, pedals and bottle cage I had already).

Frame, fork, headset, Campy gruppo €180
Bar tape €9
Shimano cassette and KTM chain €30
New tyres and tubes €29

Hope fully I will make a few euros back from selling on the old tubular wheelset, still in good condition, that came with the bike. Record hubs still running silky smooth after God knows how long in a cellar.

I think this one might be a keeper.

I can't... It's a picture. That was at a rental home for Ironman CDA.

Also, big chainring ;)

I don't use the big chainring... It's too hard.

Sheesh. What did you buy...a castle in Tuscany? :O

I found a few cans of house paint in our crawl space...

Then you might as well ride a single and cut down on weight and aerodynamic drag coefficient.

I will assume you're messing with me, so /pink.
