I'm not telling you which wheels are fastest, only linking a test. I'm also not saying if the world is flat, or not. Just stating that many believe it's flat.

A test that was supposed run after hours using up tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment time as well as acquiring the wheels yet not a single image taken?

+++ on this. I've had a set of Boyd 44mm disc brake wheels on my road bike for the past two years and think they are the best thing since sliced bread. I'm coming to the wheels from a set of Reynolds Assaults. I cannot recommend the Boyd wheels enough. Customer services has been fantastic whenever I've contacted them with questions. Give them a look.

There was a post a couple of days ago about the Trek/Bontrager warranty. The wheels have a 2 year 100% replacement policy (mostly), followed by lifetime replacement/repair for 1/3 to 1/2 the retail price of new. Lots of fine print... but, in general, it might be worthwhile to see what other vendors offer too.

Zipp wheels are nice. I've had a few sets. But they have had issues with their hubs for close to 20 years now.
Hed and Zipp wheels also are nice. They have not had hub issues.

Enter test with preconceived notion.
Confirm bias.
Publish report - or even better, make a Youtube video.

I am researching the best set of disc wheels for my road bike. I am not sure which would be best, and am currently looking at Zipp 303 or Enve 3,4/4.5 disc wheel sets, or even Hed, although I am not familiar with the line up in they have. I want a medium depth aero wheel. I had a 302 previously and liked it a lot. Any suggestions with pros and cons, particularly those from personal experience, would be very welcome.
