comparing HED with Zipp or even the Paul Lew designed Reynolds or Simon Smart Enve wheels is like comparing Fuji apples to Granny Smith apples... they are all apples... maybe one is crunchier or sweeter than the other by a bit...

aero wheels are never only about slicing wind nowadays... they have made it more complicated by measuring aero efficiency at yaw angels, dirty turbulent wind left by the wheels and how it affects your aero downtube and many other crazy factors...

so... HED or Zipp??? up to you... i guess Zipp is more commonly available as a mass marketed product hence you see more of it...HED or Enve smart wheels are not seen a lot over here but the good thing about HED stingers and Smart Enve is you can pair them up with what you like... so can Zipp rims... but only if the zipp shops bring them in...

to add on other than aero... zipp has a more complete package as a wheel with it's famed 88 / 188 hubs with it's perfectly rounded ball swiss steel bearings with teflon retainer with the option to go ceramics if you can splurge...

i think it's fair to say that no lightweight hubs are ever going to be durable... it's mostly the freehub that srews up most of the time and it's a bomb to replace it...think it's a cool RM1k to replace it...


same goes for fulcrums...even chris king R45's are not going to be durable if you don't service it with their ringlube once in a while...

if durability is a concern... get some shimano dura ace hubs and don't gripe about the weight...


even if the freehub does not screw up epically... you have problems dealing with the aluminum freehub body after a period of time where the cassette will start chewing into the spines...it's a known problem for many aluminum freehub designs...

bearings is the least of concerns at this point unless it's the one within the freehub seizing up...i've seen some bent axles as well, but also not a big concern...

hard to say lar....

ceramic bearings cannot cincai choose one as far as i've read before...

on one end of the choosing part is how smooth and round the balls is (mind the pun, not meaning anything dirty here... serious talk).. which is where ceramic excels and shaping rounder balls is easier with ceramic than any metal...it is also quite hard to wear ceramic balls down as well as it is harder to cause abrasion to the balls where contaminant enters the bearing compared to steel balls...

on the other end... the bearing races will have to fully complement the ceramic balls... this means that the races have to be hardened up to sustain the ceramic balls or the races wear out prematurely...

i think there are some manufacturers that makes ceramic races as well... but, not sure about it as i read that the races are still better off made of steel... can't remember why... but it needs harder steel than the ones meant for ceramic balls, that's for sure...ceramic races is something like this


then there is the retainer where some companies choose to use balls all around with no retainer while some uses a PTFE or teflon retainer to guide the balls around...

worth a try for that price difference...

it's because it does practically almost nothing but requires the price of an arm and a leg...

it is only for the people who has everything and has nothing else better to upgrade...much like changing titanium bolts...

most probably is... don't see why it isn't...

there is difference between low and high grade ceramics...

Added on November 14, 2012, 5:14 pmwell... like the italians said... good olive oil is good for health... if it's good for health.. it must be damn good for your bearings...

put some quality jamie oliver extra virgin olive oil on your bearings and it shall spin like the earth has no gravity...


while you are at it.. you can have a couple of chuggs like tom cruise does... do it like a man they say...



if you can find the special extra extra virgin.. even better.. this are the first press of the sweet olives by a certified virgin between her you know what... it's extra extra virgin olive oil... superly hard to find... even jamie olivers chin will fall to the floor if he ever sees a bottle of it...

Added on November 14, 2012, 5:21 pmi think astroglide might be better...


real pleasure lasts longer... having to re-apply once in a while is very potong stimming...and it keeps the bearings moist too... not sure wat for.. but it does...

i even located the seller for you..

there is always ebay if you are not scared the customs officer open the bottle for a trial run first

if you buy it from them... they are obligated to perform some basic tune ups for a period of time.. like half a couple of time witout charging you..

you are not expecting free service rite? and don't expect them to pull you any special favors initially...

haha... then, maybe i special case lar... i never paid for jack shit before...

frankly, depends on your budget...

but... just for strolling around and high possibilities that you will leave your bike unattended.. you should consider something not too pricey in case it gets stolen...

folding bikes are good consideration too... at least it is easier to transport around ...

most likely not... the ones who are interested would either be at genting sempah or in vin_anns case... staring at juicy butts in some spinning classes... awal buat-haram day for him...

i feel that we have a stalker here... stop trespassing my secret grounds

which summit stretch.. the one up to the water reservoir??? didn't know it was blocked.. there is some things there to block the way...but should not be hard to slip pass it...it's nothing to do up there anyways..just a short 12% climb

it's just a normal backpack... not special...

if you hang this off your back.. it'll be special..

can have tongkat ali teh tarik somemore...bet you'll be the raymond lam of cycling in no time...

this will be the guys who will be worrying me if they decide to launch some ass flavored energy gels... they will be trying to soak some asses to get the real taste rather than trying to artificially re-produce it with a mixture of chemicals... which either ways is damn sick btw..

errr... i dunno wat to do with it...

if you can get a lorry of them...i'll give you a jelly wrestling match... i guess that'll put them to better use than being in my stomach...


up for it??? let's vote...

of course it's out of the question lar... it's not even seen around here let alone having one...

i think the price is more or less the same around here.. kindred got his with force for additional 3k i think..

actually... it is possible to pair 404 and 808... but mostly tri guys only do that... no sense doing that on road because the 808 is not exactly what you call light in the first place... 303 and 404... don't think it brings much difference except it looks cool...

cross winds are tough and the higher the profile... the tougher it gets.. that is why you saw andy schleck crashed this year in a TT when he was blown off course by a big gust of side wind...

nick wrote about this in a q&a before... read about it..
http://velonews.competitor.com/2012/04/bik...and-more_215372

the zipps are designed to handle all sorts of wind conditions... that being said.. they are still gonna react to heavy winds blowing.. they are not magical in that sense...they are just more efficient at cutting through wind head on... that's all...

Added on November 16, 2012, 9:07 amyeah... that's a great idea... in fact you can throw in something special in the mix... like amphetamines, corticosteroids, etc.... it'll be the best refueling mix ever... bet you'll put allen lim out of biz...

why didn't USPS thought of distributing PED in energy gels??? that is so inconspicuous...

there used to be zedtech division in zipp where you can customize your zip... like a different color lock ring, ceramic bearings, carbon hubs like those used by htc highroad...

the rare triplet laced ala fulcrum 2:1 version of the zedtech rear wheel


another more normal one.. can customize the stickers and anodization of some parts.. no performance difference most of the customization...
