Zipp 404 or 808?
Quote | Reply
Hi.

Mabye a question for joshatzipp...?

I am not shure if the right set of wheels for me, is Zipp 404 or 808?

Data:
I am a man, live in Denmark, almost 180 lbs. (allmost 90 kg.), and only use my bike for training purposes (2 times a week, for about 40-100 miles, in a cycleclub).

1: Is Zipp 808 too sensitive for the wind, just for training purposes? Especialy the frontwheel.
2: Is 404 strong enough for my weight?
3: Or is 606 the best solution for a type of rider like me?

The wheels is handmade to me, with this:
- front- + backwheel: 32 spoke (2x/2x).
- org. Zipp-hub.

Thanks: Webfab

Unless I read that wrong, you are planning on buying a pair of Zipp 404/808 just for training?? If that is the case then I wouldnt bother buying either of them. Why spend all that money to go a little faster on some training rides.
