If you are on a budget, the AL Race is the wheel. I ride this wheel all the time and it is super fast and stiff. I am a fatty at 5’11-180 and have had no problem at all. I use them for crits and tri’s.
People complain about the bearings and the creaking. The bearings can be adjusted very easily, and the creaking is usually caused by spoke rub. This can also be fixed with a little lubrication. Click Here for bearing adjustments…
I don’t believe you will notice that you are riding a partial toroidal vs full toroidal.
Zipp from what I have heard as stopped production of the 101 for the moment…and The Zipp’s costs 2wice as much.
