Default !!!Advice On Wheel Selection Please!!!

hello, wondering if i could get some advice on wheel selection. i am
an elite amateur triathlete and starting to compete in some draft
legal races (40k bike). because the field is usually pretty small,
aerodynamics are of some concern especially on solo breaks. however,
as in crit style racing, there is lots of cornering so the ability to
corner well and accelerate quickly is also important. any ideas?
would something like a Zipp 404 or 303 be ideal? as a tri guy i'm
definately educated on wheel aerodynamics, but not much on cornering
and accelerating. thanks for your advice!

A lightweight deep-section aero wheelset costs, but will give the bes
all-around performance. Best performance/cost ratio options in thi
category are Corima Aero and Zipp 404. Reynolds Stratus are also ver
nice and costs a bit more. Truly exotic options include the Campy Bor
and Lightweight wheelsets

Rec.bicycles.tech is the appropriate group for this. Maybe
rec.sport.triathlon too.
