Wheel depth question for climber type.
Hey guys,
I currently use 18mm climbing wheels but was looking to purchase another set for all-around training and racing. My main concern is getting blown off the road with a Zipp 404 on back and 303 on front. I weigh 104 lbs. Would I be better off with a set of 303's? Would running a 404 on the back give me any noticeable benefit on flats/descents? I am looking at the Firecrest Clincher version of these wheels, and the 404 rear is only 40~ grams heavier than the 303 rear wheel. I spoke to some other juniors with my build, they run 60mm deep wheels and say it doesn't affect them much; but I wanted to get some other peoples opinions. Sorry if this question seems vague, I haven't ever ridden deeper section wheels as a climber and wanted to get some thoughts.
Thanks,
Rishav
