Race Wheels For Oceanside 70.3

Triathlon Forum
1

How far ahead of a race do you folks throw on the game day rollers?

I train on a solid PRO-LITE Como wheel set (which I’m tempted to race on) but the HED3/JET60 combo last used at IMCdA are screaming to be run.

Oceanside 70.3 is in 4 weeks.

race wheels go on the night before the event for me.

which age group are you? deep front (404/808, H3 or equivalent) and disc rear. Unless you’re M30-34, then ride your pro-lite como’s :slight_smile:

i put 'em on for one short test ride prior to the race to make sure they are sound.

I’m doing a time trial the weekend before so I’ll put them on for that. Generally I like to get at least one ride in before a race so there aren’t any surprises.

I also train on them. If you’re in the 55-60 go with them. If not go with your race wheels.

I throw my race wheels on in the last week so I can do a one or two short rides to check things out.
