I ride a Cervelo P3 and am going to take the plunge and buy the best disc race wheelset possible. Would you suggest Zipp 999 wheelset, Xlab disc (with 3 spoke front), or?
I do mostly midwest triathlons and 1 Ironman per year…
Your suggestions are greatly appreciated as I have “analysis paralysis” - thanks!
The Campy Ghibli is pretty much the most expensive disc you can get your mits on, but it’s only for campy bikes (It’d look pretty sweet on a red/white csc paint job.)
The 999 is a nice wheelset, and the seemingly obvious choice for a cervelo, but sometimes you just want to be different.
Thanks for your feedback. I have the original (silver aluminum) P3, though I hope to get the new carbon black/red in a few months.
Yes, the Zipp 999 seems like the obvious choice. However, Nytro bike shop seems convinced about Xlab and the threads here seem convinced on Renn…so confusing. Maybe I should just go with the Zipp 999.
Can’t go wrong with a zipp… however, there are a number of $$ factors others take into consideration. If you have the money, buy Zipp, if you don’t by another brand and be just as fast, but not as light.
