Parcours Disc Wheel

[BeirutTaxi]

Hi everyone,

Just a quick question with respect to the Parcours disc wheel (https://www.parcours.cc/collections/all-our-wheels)

Has anyone used it and if so, what is the quality and performance like?

I have my heart set on a HED Jet disc and HED Jet 9 Plus. However for the same money I could have a Parcours disc AND Chrono wheelset for less (I could use the Chrono wheelset for my road bike and share the front wheel with my TT bike)

What do we reckon? I was initially drawn to the HED JETS as after much research they strike me as a very good quality wheelset with fantastic aero and nicely made hubs.

Kind regards,

Matt

The Chrono wheelset gets very good reviews - I've not tried it personally but know a few people with them who are impressed. Think there's a couple of disc reviews out there too - it's a flat disc at a decent price and has a UK guarantee.

I'm currently saving for their crono wheelset for my P3. I've been really impressed by the reviews and their after sales seems pretty reliable as they're trying to make a name for themselves. The 220 tri review on the different wheelsets was the deal clincher for me - the crono came second. I'm sure the disc would be pretty decent if they've bothered making one, but have no personal experience.

Thanks for taking the time to reply

Cycling isn't exactly cheap is it? :/

Did you make a decision on the disc wheel?

My chrono wheelset arrived in the post today - i'm thrilled. Quality is lovely and wheels are beautiful. Can update once ridden if needed.

If you could keep me posted Haven't bought yet as I'm waiting to find out what this year's bonus is! I would love the HED Jets however the Parcours are almost half the money and have a good review.

Any opinion on a Parcours Disc / Chrono combo compared to a Campag Bora Ultra 50?

Are the Parcours hubs & bearings top notch?

Can't compare as I haven't ridden those, but I've had a pair of carbon speed cycle Chinese wheels for 18 months now which have been perfectly fine and the parcours are a huge step up in quality, stiffness and finish.
I'm waiting on some valve extenders from wiggle then hope to give some feedback, but saw a set on a P2 at Wells triathlon and the athlete said they "went well".
A big plus has been the superb Q&A and customer service from parcours in answering any questions I had before I ordered.

What are you racing? Parcours Disc/Chrono will be much quicker than your 50mm wheelset - if you look at the Triathlon 220 review, they compared the Chrono with the Enve 7.8s (a £3k wheelset) and the Chronos only marginally lost.

The hubs are Taiwanese designed/manufactured with up-rated cartridge bearings for UK conditions I believe.

Thanks for the photos... The wheels look like a quality bit of engineering

I think Campagnolo do some interesting products however as a prospective buyer I don't see the benefits of their wheels compared to the competition.
