Which to buy Zipp 60 or Shimano 9000 50 Clinchers?

Hi All,

Got a real dilemma on which wheels to buy! Should I go for the Shimano 9000 50 or the new Zipp 60? The weight is within a few grams but the hubs on the Zipps are not the same as on the higher end wheels. Any thoughts?

The DA hubs are superior. If it was my money I'd save a few quid and go with Reynolds Assaults. Barring that, the C50 all day long.

At that price point, have you considered the Fast Forwards either the F6r or F4r depending on the rim depth you are after.

The C50s are on offer for 1050 quid at the moment rather than 1400 so drifting towards them.

Shimano everyday. Shimano Dura Ace hubs are among the best in the business.
