TT wheels
As the evening 10 season approaches, I'm thinking about getting some TT wheels that I don't really need and can't afford (you know how it is). Have narrowed the choice down to Easton EA90 TT (alloy clincher) or Corima (mega bling), I don't want a disc as I ride out to events and it can get a bit windy round here (plus there's a hairy descent on the way out to our 10 course) and I gave up faffing around with tubs about 20 years ago. Any views, or experience of these wheels? Head says Easton, but the Corimas look sooo good.

Hi there.
The Eastons have a 31mm deep rim - which isn't really deep enough to justify their use as dedicated TT wheel - imho.
For that sort of budget, why not look at Planet X 50s or the Dalkiia 60mm wheels?
Cheers, Andy
ps The front wheel is the most important one - you can worry about a disc later.0 -

Good advice. For TTs you need around 50mm depth on the front and difficult to beat Planet X in VFM terms. BTW you'd be surprised by how little you notice a disc on the rear in the wind but the front is the one that you need to sort out first.0
