Thinking of getting a pair as someone has some on offer....

Anyone of the racers use them or know if they're any good?

You're probably better off asking this on Weightweenies!

True although there's a few hidden racers on here so thought I'd ask a group that are less pncey about their choices... weightweenies are a rather elitist bunch and tritalk are genrally all about Zipp which are great if you don't mind the wheel flexing with every watt you put through them!!

From what I have read, they are supposed to be very good. However you also have alot of choice at that level. Edge, Reynolds, not quite Lightweights but plenty.

I'm not brave enough to go tubs and the roads round here, especially now, are a bit of a shambles. So, I went for the Mavic Cosmic SLRs - no issues with heating under braking (Ali rim), 53mm profile, typical Mavic bombproof but pay for it with weight (ish).

I don't think you would be disappointed.

again can only go on what others say as i have no first hand experience of them but by all accounts they are excellent wheels, factory campag wheels build quality still seems to be the benchmark but it would be interesting to see how they compare to the 50mm dura-aces are very common on the race scene

Can't help but thinking a SRAM80 rear and S40/60 front would look awesome as well though on the S3

Deep aero rims on road bikes look fab.

pain in the bottom in cross winds though and the deeper they are, the more likely you are to tubs and personally, i would stick with clinchers unless you are in competition
