I think so. But Williams 38's are more aeroer.

This is the dilemma I'm facing between those two wheelsets. The bling and lightness of the 7850's vs the slightly taller profile of the Williams. I have a month or so to mull it over.

Get the 7850s. If you really want aero, get Zipp 404s later.

FYI, the DA WH7850 C24 CL weigh approximately 1440g with the newer rim tape (Shimano was using plugs before the recall) on my Park Tools scale. AFAIK, the scale has a 20g margin of error.

Pcad, How are Zipp 404's maintenance wise?

I break about one spoke a year.

Who can say? I have 4 road bikes, a bunch of wheels. 4-5,000 miles? Just a guess. My total mileage this year will be 10-11K, last year it was 12,000 or so.

Yes, the Zipps are reasonably durable. On the other hand I had three sets of Ksyriums (different ones) over five years and never broke a spoke, never needed truing in 50,000 miles of riding.

Hey Pcad,

What is your sinful indulgence now? For example, what was the most fattening thing you ate today?

patentcad

Yes the R2 finish is also shizzlicious.

The Redskins rolled the dice a bit but addressed a need. Hope it works out.

Uh, Broncos? :lol:
