Miao, hypothetically speaking, suppose Specialized decide to make it up to you for reasons you think are justifiable by offering you a RM8K voucher for a set of Wheels applicable to every dealer locally.
So which wheel set would you choose, the first that comes to mind!.....and please, no 'dafag, don't understand' line precede to what you think.....k? laugh.gif

cracked eyelets? i know...but not to everyone

you are not supposed to tension high spoke count wheels so high since the tension is quite equally distributed across all spokes

haiyah...rm8k wheels is never reliable for starters... it is considered race wheels adimah...once you get past that fact, it is very evident to you that the remaining criteria is going to be inevitably just looks and performances...

so it boils down to the simple choice of zipp for the mainstream belief that it is the best yet affordable wheel so far

or

some corimas, rolf prima (fly out to buy, travel cost eat up budget), lightweight (not possible within 8k), just for looks and don't consider anything else, not crash replacement programs, not wheel stiffnes, not aero performance...so the logical answer for plain looks is corimas

you know what??? that is just like asking if my girlfriend will get pregnant if i pull out right before i ejaculate???

technically even if we know that the answer is no, but there is still a chance that it will rain meatballs

that is how complicated to answer that question of yours

or that is how unpredictable our customs is...predicting if your future baby is a boy or girl might be much more easier

you meant wear the pads down? the exalith grooves as i read is very abrasive to pads when new... once seasoned they provide nice stoppind power coupled by acceptable pad wear

the exalith grooves are the jizz bomb...it is the thing to have, it is the bringer of pain to all carbon clinchers, it is the kryptonite to all lightweight carbon tubulars, it is the inevitable doom to your bank account, resistance is f@king futile
