It may be better than the main forum, where people just ask if they should use their light wheels instead of their aero wheels when their race has an overpass or two to climb. I mean, come on, this is really good stuff here:
Regarding the purchase of a Zipp FC clincher wheel–This wheel is just too much for me. I’m like the old, hairy-chested, gold chain wearing dude who buys a Corvette thinking it’s gonna turn his life around. It ends up that I’m just another fat dude with a really bad ass wheel that’s created a $1,350 hole in my pocket.
I know I should not be making fun of other people’s buyers remorse, but I just can’t help it. Now, I admit, on occasion I really feel bad for the guy who spends 10 grand on a bike and then tries to sell a “used bike” for a measly $6,500. That has got to hurt. I look at my road bike and wonder what I was thinking spending that kind of money when my tri bike–that I actually use for timed racing–is 7 years old. It seemed like a good idea at the time. I’m sure a lot of people think that.
Well, I’m back to the classifieds.
