Has anyone used these for TT's?

I currently use a set of 50mm wheels but with carbon rims and they're terrifying to stop in the wet and I'v almost come off. I'm looking to get rid of them.

Try changing your brake blocks first - have you tried swissstop yellow?0

My wheels with Swissstop Yellows have surprisingly ace stopping power...
Those SRAM wheels weigh a freakin' tonne but that don't really matter for TTs.
I'd try the Swissstops first.0 -
Agreed - no point going deep section at that kind of weight.
As for the Dalkiias.....steer well clear - useless is the best Ive heard about em
Look at some of the Reynolds, Zipps, Mavics - u can get last seasons range at that sort of money of you look around, and your buying quality0 -
I thought that SRAMs are Zipps, not this year's tech but Zipps none-the-less.0

They have basically replaced Flashpoints, which were Zipp's budget brand. IIRC.0

Yep, they had rim fails and spoke peoblems, may be the reason you cant seem to get them anymore, looked the nuts though...0 -
I have flashpoint FP60's - and I love em they match the colourscheme of the Planet X very nicely.... I bought them cos they were a bargain, and because they were rated up to my portly (at the time of purchase) 100kg. I haven't looked at the hubs on the SRAM wheels but assuming they have straight pull spokes on them like mine, this should avoid the problems of the Dalkiia which had spokes with elbows. As for the rim failure, well I can't comment on that - mine seem to be holding up very well after over 2000 miles.0
