I'm keen to hear people's thoughts on race wheel choice.
My go-to has always been the Sram front, but I wonder if running the Hed would be faster. My next race is IM Cairns, so slightly undulating, where the lighter weight could be a benefit.
Happy to hear any opinions and recommendations.
- My current Tri wheelset is an old Sram S80, which I use for everything. I love those wheels: bulletproof and surprisingly easy to handle in crosswinds. While 80mm deep, they are heavier than the Heds below and are quite narrow, with a 13.5mm inner width according to theproscloset.com.
- My road wheelset is Hed Jet 6. While shallower at 60mm, they are wider (21mm inner) and lighter.
- For races I run a Zipp 900 disc.
- I normally run 23mm Continental GP TT tyres for races, although may stick with the 25mm GP5000 currently on the Hed.
