How can you put a rear wheel on the front? Just a question. I would say to go for both, gives you options. If you can only get one, I would say go with the HED. It makes it much more vesitile then a disk, in a really windy day, it is a PITA on a disk, even for me and I am about 210lbs. Though I run a disk and a non-aero wheel up front, just because I got the disk for cheap, and havnt gotten around to getting a front wheel, the snow here doesnt make it a hurry to get one.
With my setup I am still pretty quick, but could deffinatly be faster.
So my opinion, is get a set of wheels(front and back) that way you will match, and be faster. If not, go with the HED, then find a good front wheel. But like was said, find out why it is being sold, and really check 'er out.
