interested in knowing what the eagleman folks either a) have or b) are planning to run as a wheelset for the upcoming half-im.

thanks

no brainer - disc + H3. you’ve seen the course, right? profile attached below:

Start _________________________________________________________ Finish

i have seen the course map and read about it. seems the potential for big winds makes running a disc a little risky.

Even if there are significant winds, the course if fairly open, so you won’t get a lot of gusts/buffeting.

there can be windy bits, although i’ve ridden it about 4-5 times now in the last couple of months (training w/o disc) and not seen much more than a few gusts. you make the call but i think you’ll be kicking yourself on the day if you have a disc and don’t run it, unless i guess if race weather reports indicate unusually stormy weather.

john/efernand -

thanks for the thoughts. i will be bringing all the wheels i own for this one and hopefully make the best choice on the eve of the race. it helps knowing that you have confidence that you are going to run a disc.

I’ll be running 909’s. whoever is telling you NOT to run a disc (if you have one) at Eagleman is insane.
