Anyone else sick of this guy already?

Your light weight wheels are 1275g. So the difference between boat anchors and light weight non-aero wheels is 200 grams? That is less the a half of pound? What do you consider light weight vs. heavy wheels?

WhyFi

What's rubbing you the wrong way - self-important bit or the self-important bit?

frisbie17

No he makes a lot of since. Bringing out of the box ideas to the forum. Some of the Forum Zombies believe everything they read on the internet. Hey wait... Thats me!

WhyFi

Is this in English?

They're not race wheels, but they're not quite boat anchors, either - talk to the guys with disc brakes about that!
Compared to the aero wheels, together they do have 26 more spokes, mid-grade alloy hubs and doublewall aluminum box rims rather than CF, but that's all to withstand the beatings of the roads hearabouts.
And they're pretty.

I am not self important at all. But I make enough money working as an Army Officer that I do not have to worry too much about money. I am a married Major without kids. Life is good.

WhyFi

Were you under the impression that anyone cares?

I bounced my powertap off my enves and saved ~200g..

frisbie17

It should have been if I was not 6 drinks in. Sorry my drunkedness impacted your ability to read.

frisbie17

Sorry my drunkedness (if that is a word) impacted your ability to understand me. I have had a few too many. like 4 or 5 too many this evening.

WhyFi

My ability to reed? Makes since.

frisbie17

Enve 6.7 Tubs are 1495 grams. I run a very consistent stages power meter that save me a ton of weight.

MrCharlie

I've been having these weird spells lately when I can't read. It makes sense now: My reading ability is impacted every time this guy that I have never met gets drunk.

Nope. But wanted to answer the question asked.

It's good to see that your left leg puts down consistent power! You may want to measure your right one too.

frisbie17

Probably closer to 100 percent of the people on this forum you have never met. Get out of your moms basement and meet somebody.

frisbie17

Actually there is no need. Stages has been proved consistent. I do not care about actually power. As long as my numbers between rides are consistant, I can measure improvement. No need to measure both legs. I am not bragging or looking to brag about how many watts I can carry up the alp d'huez.

Hey, just joking with you. You are in the armed forces, for that I thank you (while I may not necessarily agree with the cause, no offense). Have a few more beers and enjoy your bike with or without aero wheels. My honest personal opinion? They are worth every penny just based on looks. Performance? No idea, they feel better???....

spdntrxi

Most people are pretty close left/right power. I had major knee surgery in 2013, so I picked up the garmin vectors recently. Turns out my balance power is usually 51/49 or 52/48 most days with my left being higher, which is also my knee I had surgery on. I've used powertap, stages, vectors and compared them with my calibrated wahoo kickr... and guess what.. they are all really close. The stages is fine.

WhyFi

Uh, nobody asked about: your income, your employer, your job, your marital status, or your dependents. That you choose to provide those details speaks to, oooh... self-importance.

MrCharlie

There's also a thread on his car--straight out of a sixteen year-old's fantasy--that has already made its way to trollheim.

frisbie17

Thanks. Not asking anybody to agree with me. Just trying to post my opinion on cycling due to experience and research. Many on cycling forums do not actually reattach or try products and have an opinion. That is all I am addressing. Most post on forums that Aero wheel are not worth the money because they cannot afford them. I understand the feeling of trying to argue about products so you do not feel inferior. There is just a time to let it go.
