Hi all; I am looking at getting racing wheels this year and am leaning towards Zipp, having done lots of reading and researching.
I am having a problem narrowing down which model would be best for me. I read on various message boards, don't go with back disk wheel or deep dish (ie 808/1080) wheels if you are "too light" and/or "not a strong cyclist" as you will be blown around in the wind. I am 130 lbs and definitely not the strongest cyclist in my class. I can't see anywhere what "too light" is but I am guessing I am in that category? In which case, should I go with 404 front and back?
Also, anyone have any thoughts on clinchers vs tubular? I know tubulars are supposedly lighter and faster. I used to road race with tubulars "back in the day" so I'm comfortable with gluing them on. Any difference in the hassle factor for the gear you would have to carry in a race for changing ie spare tubular (or 2?) vs spare tube plus tools.
Decisions, decisions..... Thanks!
