A local Pinarello Montello time trial bike is in need of replacement wheels. Current thinking is all about replacing Zipp404's for TT's on more demanding courses, where a 3/4 spoked front and a disk rear doesn't quite fit the bill

In particular, any info on the Vuelta Carbon Pro WR or the Vuelta Mega Airflow tubular wheel sets would be most appreciated. Cheers,

    I had a look at Mega Airflow but was put off by:

    1. Carbon spokes - gawd help you if you need a replacement one of those
    2. They're heavy (can't remember exactlythe weights, but I think 1800-1900g) if you're using on sporting courses
    3. Lack of info/support in UK

    Went for second hand in more established brands instead because of the above

    Chris, thanks vmuch for the response, after last night I thought my post was headed for forum oblivion. Occupational hazard I guess if you're tempted by the less familiar. All the best,

    Ron
