Step 1) Go look at what basically every single Olympian uses.
Step 2) Look up what they weigh (Io/Comete set is 1730 grams, not exactly light)
Step 3) realize that they could have picked any wheelset in the world, including ones that are under 1200 grams.
Step 4) don't be an idiot.
1. I personally wouldn't use what Olympians ride as a comment on what is the best gear. Countries may have restrictions on what they are allowed to ride or use. I'd also read (can't find the source right now) that Mavic provided a nice incentive pricewise for countries to use their wheels...
2. I would expect the IO/Comete set will weigh alot more than 1730g but haven't found real weights only manufacturer claimed weights. Also see point 1.
3 See point 1.
4. See below
No need to be rude Flatballer. Small enough community here and few posts. Jumping down this blokes throat will only make others think twice before coming here and asking a question - regardless of how stupid you may think it is...
