how stupid would i look if i showed up to a sprint triathlon with rental zipps? my average bike time for 12 miles is around 37 or 36 minutes. I just dont wat to look like a poser, but i would really like to try out some deep dish wheels.
Only if you leave the “these wheels are rentals specifically for this race” sticker on 
.
no way. go ahead and rent them. who would know they were rentals anyway. plus then you’ll get to try them out and see how they feel before buying a set.
What color is your bike?
black leader LD735TT
.
They’ll look okay then… probably.
not “a” ass…its “an” ass.
: )

You’d probably get a better feel for the wheels taking them out for longer than 12 miles. Take them out and do some comparison TT’s (like 3-4 miles if you have a good section of road for TT’ing). Race day is not a great way to “test” them… But if you rent them for racing, you could always take them out afterwards. But I think it’d make sense to dedicate a solid ride to testing them…
