Hi all

Which of these would you get?
I can get a pair of the current Bontrager Aeolus 5 D3 for £500 less than the Enve's.
The Bontragers do weigh slightly more.
Bontrager doesn't officially have a crash replacement scheme like Enve or Reynolds.

They will be used for most types of riding (club ride, sportive, evening TT, racing).

Thanks

  • Seen as the 4.5s have only just been released what kind of response are you expecting?
    I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles

    Mate of mine has the Bontragers on his Trek, the freehub is incredibly noisy like a whining buzz.
    Not a problem if you like that kind of thing, I guess for TT's and racing it may mean you pedal more.
