    I hear you - buy what you really want as you'll end up buying them twice making amends for the mispurchase. Been there, done that.

    For you it sounds like it is Zipp 404 all the way and I cannot blame you. Superb.
  • So how are the 404s? are they as good as you hoped?

    They were awesome.

    Sold them to buy some Enve 4.5's and really don't know why.... Enves are a little lighter and come with CK45 hubs, but definitely not worth twice that of the 404s.

    I really want a pair of Enve 4.5's, they are definitely on the wish list along with a Colnago C60 and the Shimano DA Di2 wireless if they ever make it!

    I'm similar size and have come to believe 60mm is the best all round depth for bigger blokes. I run HED stingers 6/9 as a summer wheel as Suffolk in flat.
