Dura Ace C50....

So why did I get these ? Cheap! Never to repeat Price!! :P


My idea was to get more speed, nothing is more exhilarating then having wind generated from speed... Carbon wheels are the way to go... but what is the price to pay?

actually... that will be in dollars and weight...

DA C50 wheels are reknown for... value.. not for weight, not for speed.. but value.. which means in a nutshell ... what you get is... something that is not too low end.. but it may leave you wanting more in the long run...

DA C50... are fast wheels, only if you are a fast rider.. the Aero, doesn't come into effect not until around and above 35km/h. certainly not something which you want if you are casually spinning. Its not exactly a fast wheel... particular if you are talking about spin ups...

But the price that I paid for it was pretty good.. although after a couple of weeks later, I found out that I was able to get them for about 500 bucks cheaper.. but those were Chiong stuff.. you dun want to mess about with Chiong stuff...

After having them for a couple of months now.. all I can say is...
1. these are great training wheels
2. can I use them for races? Depends on the race distance. For any given distance, if you are able to keep at 35km/h and above for 70% of the time and distance.. you will certainly get an advantage.. the aero advantage... anything else.. effort to overcome the weight will be detrimental.
3.weight of these guys are not too light, but they not exactly heavy
