Id love to have a set of wheels from FLO considering the price point. Unfortunately not being able to be laced with a PT makes them a non-starter in my situation.

The market audience for flo isnt for those looking for a huge upgrade but rather those looking for a well priced aero wheel.

I probably will be.

I have a HED Jet Disc currently, but might just opt to replace with the FLO Disc and then grab a 90 for the front as well.

probably...

but not before a year or two worth of reviews; def not going to be an early adopter of a new wheel... hell no!

Hell no.

this seems to be logical to me.


in my mind, if i've got a pair of zipp 404 fc's, if i can sell them on ebay for 1500, I could then go and buy most of the combinations I could want from FLO. seems like a no brainer.


but i guess that is just assuming the quality is identical.

I'd ditch flashy for fast.

In a heartbeat. That 'other' company was never going to see any of my dollars again after 1995, but HED has treated me awesome and I do like their line up. Don't have aero hoops and have been waiting for a company like FLO. Probably wait a few months to hear some live field reports, but I will be in at some point with them.

Why?

Not questioning your motives. Just interested in what your particular reasons for not considering. I can't remember if you're on Zipps currently.

Obviously if people have Zipp FCs or even just bought HEDs in some combination, I dont see opting for FLO making much sense.

Part of me wants to just to support them, to be honest.

I'm very interested in picking up a deep rear wheel to complete my aero quiver. 60 and 90 fronts, [90 rear] and a disc cover = all conditions covered.

So you can purchase Flo now?

It's much more fun to play triathlete than be a triathlete....

I plan to purchase a front wheel. For just over $300 bucks, not a real big monetary risk IMO. I will keep my 808 rear wheel with PT and cover.

I *heart* weak, dumb ass people...

I'm running an 808 FC front and Powertap Clincher Zipp disc. So will I switch, not a chance unless they are actually faster. I will however think about buying them for a training bike or a road bike. Their price point may still be a little high for me when you can get sram for maybe a 200 more or so once their pre-order prices are done. I'm definitely debating it but its not going to be for my tri bike.

looks don't matter to me, but using power during races really seems to help and I've currently got a powertap so I'll be waiting!

Why not use the money you save and buy a crank based power meter?

What is flashy? like Flashpoint 60's?

sign up on their web site, and you can pre-order next week at discounted prices.

I'll take flashy and expensive over non-existent.

- Chinese proverb

Are you saying they don't have a power tap option or a power tap hub can't not be later laced up to a flo wheel?

I was thinking about moving my PT hub over to a flo....

Only reason is that as of 5pm last night I have a sweet set of 808 FC wheels in my basement :)


If it weren't for those wheels - I probably would ditch the wheels I had been riding for flo wheels - if the wife allowed it.

a pt hub cannot be laced into a flo wheel.

In fact, I have been considering selling the set of wheels on my wife's bike to buy a set of Flo Wheels, probably be faster + it would put her on clinchers.

Win/Win/Win


Anybody want to buy a set of PX 50s?

NO because my current wheelset is 1280g for clinchers.

BUT

I will let the dust settle and see how the wheels pan out with others taking the plunge. If they seems to be alright and people are happy then I will pick up a pair for the tri bike and move the light wheels over to my SLC full time.
