HED Bastone or DA 7850 Carbon Laminate CL

[stephenmarklay]

I have narrowed my new wheel choice down to these two wheels and a third would be Easton EA90 SLX but at +150 over DA.

Mostly, I feel price performance for them is higher than others like the HED Ardennes at +200, or DA 7850 Tubeless etc.


At $635 from Chain Reaction, DA PRO's have a solid build, low weight, no weight limit (stronger), ti cassette body.

At $677 at World Cycling this weekend, HED PRO's have wheel width I think is great.

At $799 at World Cycling this weekendEaston EA90 SLX PRO'S have ceramic bearings.

I am leaning toward DA for cost and with money saved I am a bit closer to getting a powertap for training.

Thoughts?
