I've been searching for a good clincher aero wheelset, between 40 and 50mm. I've pretty much settled on the Fast Forward F4R, but there doesn't seem to be a lot out there in terms of solid reviews. Plenty of 'first look' reviews but no head to head tests or long term thoughts.
If you ride them, how do you find them in the wind/gusty conditions? Find their DARC profile does anything?
I'm also trying to make a choice between the full carbon rim, or the heavier rim with the alloy brake track. Would be great to have first hand experiences on either. There's also the option of FFWD hubs or Dt240s. I wonder how well their FFWD hubs perform.
1680g and $1255 vs 1485g and $2000. Wondering if the extra is going to be worth the money.
Thanks for any thoughts!
Anyone ride Fast Forward F4R wheels?
