My Friday night project
I finally got my new carbon wheels on Wednesday, I got the tires, tubes, chain whip and special nut to remove the rear cassette yesterday, so I did all the work myself and here is the finished projected, if I can get out in the morning before the afternoon thunderstorm**** I will take them on the maiden voyage tomorrow.

Awesome! If you look in my profile pic, I rode SRAM S80s with a wheel builder disc jacket on the rear for Ironman AZ last year and loved the S80's! The hub is the same as the ZIPPs so you will def love that!!! They spin forever. The SRAMs are a little heavier than ZIPPs but the price point is right, and they are wicked awesome! Enjoy your new shoes!

The last OH magazine I got, when your profile pic is on the cover, I showed it to the hubby and told him "that's the wheelset I want". We saved and saved, and were finally able to afford them, they aren't as much as the ZIPPs ( my dream wheels) but still quite a bit of $$ for the set. I originally ordered the S80s in black and gray, the company called me and said those were on backorder and I would have to wait 10 weeks, I didn't want to wait that long, so they offered me these S60s in red and black for $200 off. I took the deal. (I still wanted black and gray, but they were on backorder in the S60s too) I figured and S60 in the front will actually work better for me, I am 145 pounds and might have been blown around all over the road on an S80 in the front. I plan on buying a disc cover from wheelbuilder in July.
First ride on them today was awesome, I love them! Some strong side winds picked up and I got thrown about a little, but not too bad. I hit 25 MPH on the flats and maintained that speed for a few miles. I can't wait to race with them!
