Race day wheels disc brake bike owners

Although not discs I have a few observations…

  1. I did have a set of race wheels. Spent over £2k on a set of Roval Rapide CLX64. It was the biggest waste of money ever as I hardly got any use out of them. Sold them with my TT bike.

  2. I have two sets of wheels - Zipp 303 and Roval Rapide CLX32. I use them for different circumstance, both racing and training. I use the same “race day” tyres all the time.

  3. I’ve never worn out the brake track on a set of carbon rim brake. My Zipps are 6 years old and the brake track is showing no signs of wear.

  4. There’s lots of hype about crits and crashes. I’ve seen just as many mangled bikes in road races as I have crits.
