Training wheels: Flashpoints or Hed Jet 50s

[Neal Dunn]

All,

I am looking for a good pair of training wheels for my new Meivici tri bike. I want a pair of wheels that will perform well when training, since this is how I ride the bike most often. For racing I have a set of Zipp 909s.

I was curious as to whether I should go with the Hed Jet 50s or Flashpoint 60s?

Any thoughts?

I would think either would work well but I would go with the HED wheels seeing they are 50 mm deep which could be better in windy conditions. I have FP 40's for everyday use. I am 88-90 kg and after over 1000 k's they have not skipped a beat, still perfectly true after a few whacks to test them out.

If you have the FP 40s why would you recomend the Heds?

[Simon Q]

Because HEDs are 50 mm deep vs 60 mm for the FP's and I would have thought 50 mm is better for training in windy conditions. Mentioned that I have 40 mm FP's just to say that if you wanted to go with either FP my FP wheels have been good so far.

Thanks for the help.
