Yeah, I know a few guys who've done it.

Zipp, and Mavic were their names.

Open Pros have been holding up fine for me, and our streets suck.

I would want to try an A23 eventually though.

$90 for a wheel cover? Would the aero advantage even be close to worth that?

I just build a wheelset with the Hed Belgium C2. I like them so far.

Just stumbled upon this and remembered this thread

I might have to give that a try eventually...

The Mavic Comete is one of the lightest wheels I have ever held(its hard to tell if they are in a wheelbag), but generally the weight of a disk does not matter much.

I'm probably gonna give that disc a shot within a few weeks.

There might be clearance issues with the chain. I'll report back with details.
