HI all I am a bit unsure what what wheels to get. At the moment I have a front zipp 404 firecrest which I use on my TT bike. For next year I want to go with deep sections on the RR bike for races, I have been offered some brand new Mavic cosmic sle clinchers for £750, but i can't decide if I should get those or buy a rear 404 and use the zipps instead, the front 404 I currently have is tubular so I would get a tub rear so they match, meaning the zipps would be lighter but that have the annoyance of tubs costing lots more.


Thoughts please

    Zipp. The tub 404's are lighter than the cosmic and handle crosswinds better despite the deeper profile. The Mavic may be better for braking in the wet with the exalith track but my 2014 404's have been fine in the wet.
