In the picture of Ekimov it really looks like his H3 has a deeper rim than most H3’s - maybe it is just a figment of my imagination.

Either way - I think it is a great picture.

ekimov was on a hed3 deep, and the winner, david millar, was on hed’s handlebar and also on an all-carbon hed3, and i believe levi was on that wheel as well at TT worlds.
Dan,
Just read back in an August post about the Hed3 Deep and was wondering whether Steve would be releasing the Deep as a normal production wheel sometime? (Like perhaps showing it at Interbike). I heard they had quality issues with their Kona Coast wheel, but it seems like an H3 Deep wouldn’t have as many problems? If you are willing to pay the weight “penalty” the aero benefit seems like it would be pretty good.
As for Millar and Levi - can’t blame them for being on HED gear, it seems to have a serious advantage when it comes to aero.
Anyway - looking forward to your Interbike coverage, and thanks for thereply.>

I’d assume the biggest problem would be riding on a really windy day. The regular tri spoke can be a pig in these conditions, so it’s fair to assume the deep would be worse.
