I may just show up for the free beer!

i'd go for the 808s and be done with it. But you could just get an 808 front and that would give you even more combos.

I twice had the predecessor (maybe better?) wheels on order (Z99s) but the shop didn't meet the deadline and couldn't tell me when they would be in, so I canceled the orders. I did get the Z4s though and they are teh aws0m3!

What options did you order them with and did you get a good deal?

Matt

I'm a Zipp addict. 999's do it for me. Nothing faster.

That said, Pro-Lite's are pretty nice.

Here's the wheels we like the most and sell the most (this is my store by the way):

i went 606 set with a rear cover. that way I have a sensible deep front, usable in any conditions 58mm or 60mm front is ideal. Then a rear 82mm rim for windy days, courses with a lot of climbing. Calmer days, or flat courses slap on the cover and you have a pretty cool looking disk.
as earlier poster added, you could always go with a pt laced rear 808.

Tom:

What are your thoughts on the Zed Tech wheels? Are people ordering them? What is the turn around time, if so?

Bob

I have some non dimpled 404's and a 999 wheelset (808 front + Zipp disk). I generally use the 404 front and Disk the most. I am reasonable light generally under 70kg during race season. I think I need to ride the 808 front a bit more to get use to it as i found the draft from lorries (trucks in American) during Time trials a bit un-nerving when I used it.

I am sure I read in a post by Josh from Zipp a while ago that generally having a deeper wheelon the rear is a bit more stable. So I would go for either a 999, a 909 or 606 wheelset.

I am currently thinking of getting an 808 (or Hed Stinger 90) rear for using in overseas races as having a disk as your only rear wheel with you is not ideal if you want to do a bit of riding after the race.

I'm around the same weight and have used the disk/404 combo (909) for years with no troubles in the wind. The rear disk is stable....it's the front that can give you trouble. I think the 808 or 999 set, without a backup front wheel for windy days might be a mistake. I'd stay with the 909 or even the 606. If you're not stuck on the Zipps, consider the ProLite triple deal that Tom has on his link....basically an 606 set AND a disk for $2K...pretty sweet deal.

Davis wheelworks as ordered for me and told Zipp I need before Wildflower. I got the ceramics upgrade. (I even ordered the zed wheel bag). Zipp tires.
I did not get the colored extra since I could not see a reason.

I also ordered ceramic gears for my rear RD from FSA. they are also looking into some ceramic bearings for my front BB. Also ordered the zero gravity brakes.
I said I would never spend money on a bike like this again after I lost so much on my last one, but, here I go again. This is my Type A at work.

Latest date I got was three weeks for the wheels. I may not be any faster, but, I sure love to get toys for this sport. :o)

Glad you love your wheels since I still know spending this much money is NOT the best bang for the buck, but what the heck, my wife told me to do it. :o)

Talking to the zipp factory the other day, the lead time they say for Zed wheels is 2 weeks for standard, 4 weeks for the ceramic upgrade.

And I hope Tom has some nice answers on your other questions. :o( 2 seconds for 2K. :o(

Go to iTunes and download the Zipp podcasts. Great information on wheels and selections and which one you should get.
