So I have 909’s, Shamal HPW12, Vento G3’s, Record on Campagnolo Montreal 32x, and a few other wheelsets.
I have decided that I need an 808…would you just get an 808 or should I tear down my PowerTap CXP33 wheen and have the PT put into the 808?
What say you jury of ST…
If you have 909s, get the 808 pair. Then you have:
999
909
808
606
Problem solved!
And what bike is this for? I thought you bought a Kalibur, but aren’t you now part of the PX Mafia? Pics!!!
But what about putting in the PT hub?
Eh…I mean I guess the only reason for a PT hub on race wheels is to be able to gauge your effort during a race. Do you need that? I guess it can prevent you from going out to hard and help to pace your efforts, I don’t know. I think training with a PT and then taking that fitness and experience into a race is the way to go.
I mean you have been riding for how many years? And then training on the PT? Are you really going to go into a race unable to gauge your efforts?
donate the money to team in training
.
I did send the purple menace some money this year…
good on ya!
I knew that would shock the ST’ers!
perhaps we should gear up for that snowball fight in hell
.
I’d only build the PT into the 808 if you want to train on a $1k wheel…
Yeah - I just get a new wireless PT for it and have two.

You’d be amazed at the dropoff in the end of races. I’m consistently surprised how you can put as much time into people in the last 10k of a 1/2-ironman as you do in the first 80. Until you actually race with a powermeter, you have no idea whether or not you are really pacing yourself. I don’t understand, when you have to run off the bike, why people who own powermeters don’t race with them…
Then I’d say go for it.

Then donate some race wheels to me! ;^)
