I disagree with that. 2020 is only 3 years away. Many people keep bikes for many years. I'd say even now the disc bikes on the road are a minority, and many people have no interest in disc brake road bikes. Wheels are consumables. There will be a strong market for rim brake aero wheels for many years to come. I will probably get my first disc brake road bike around that time...but it will be vastly outnumbered by my rim brake road bikes!

I hope you are right, I really don't want to convert to discs. But think about the 10 to 11 speed change. It only took 1 product cycle and today I don't know anybody in my circle who doesn't have an 11 speed bike (at least one). And even if somebody has a ten speed bike, they already don't want to spend money to upgrade it.

My bet is that it's going to be hard to find new rim brake bikes from large manufacturers by the time R9200 comes out.

I doubt it...even with 11sp, I have 2 road bikes that are 10sp and 2 that are 11. I have no plans to change the 10sp to11 and they will still need parts. I doubt I'm alone in that, and I still know plenty of people who ride an race 10speed.

The Hed Jets are excellent wheels

Shimano update

I got full refund from Evans (minus initial shipping $79USD , I had few other goodies with wheels, shipping would probably be less, but I can't complain ) Evans also refund for shipping wheels back to them via Canada post 366$ ! shipping charges are insane from,CA, via UPS, Fedex and DHL was all above 550$

I must say Evans stepped up big time, I will use them in the future for sure, entire refund process took 1 day from day they received wheels back, no push-back no BS. Great company.

Now I have to apply for duty refund of $465 from Canada Border Services, lets see how long that will take



I have all pictures of 3 dimensions of both C60 and C50 Shimnao wheels below:
