Nice Rose bike, and the wheels look great on there! My Zipp 303s arrived today and can’t wait to try them. I like that you are honest about the Dura-Ace rotors, I am also doing the same actually!
I am glad I am not the only one 😂 It seems crazy to pay money just for a little black color on the rotors. But it just looks cool => which is motivating => which makes you train more and harder => which makes you really faster
Great video. Even though for most people the advantage of deep carbon wheels will be pretty negligible (although in a TT position it might actually help a bit more), it will make the bike look so much more fun, pretty and even aggressive. The improved ride satisfaction is will make it worth the money you spend on it.
My thoughts exactly! But try to explain that to somebody who is not a cycling enthusiast! I do not want to know how many marriages were destroyed by expensive cycling gear.
@@thenerdymamil8557 This is my experience, luckily my wife forgives me for when I do it, but It helps sometimes if I lie about exactly how expensive bike things are.

Die Kappen schützen die Kugellager nur schlecht+ Lager waren nach außen nicht gefettet. Am Vorderrad waren sie deshalb so stark korrodiert, dass sich das Rad kaum noch drehte. Ich musste die Kugellager tauschen lassen (>100 EUR).
Hi, gutes & informatives Video, Danke dafür! Hast Du vor dem Montieren der Kasette einen Spacer zwischen Freilauf und Kasette benötigt? Sportliche Grüße!
Nein, so einen Spacer braucht man nur, wenn Kassette nicht 11fach ist. Also als ich die Microshift 8fach Kassette auf dem Laufrad hatte, brauchte ich einen Spacer.
@@neunzehn70 Have fun with the wheelset. If you like, I can send you my "old" Schwalbe Pro One tires if you send me money for the postage. They are still in good condition, just for my first IM70.3 race I wanted to have brand new tires. It feels bad to throw them away.
That sealant will only effective for about 6 months inside the tire if I am not mistaken. It would be more effective if you bring that sealant on you on a ride so when you get a puncture that's the time you use a sealant.
No, the sealing works pretty well, I had puctures twice, which sealed immediately, so I could continue riding. It is enough to add a little sealant after a few months. Or after a puncture.
wow very informative video well done indeed. my opinion is that the price is a bit too high for 1 km/h faster average. they do look a lot better though ;-)
I am glad you like the video. Yes, 1000 EUR for 1km/h is a lot- it means I would have to spend at least 15.000 EUR to compete with pro riders 🤣 But it is not just the speed- it is also the better looks and better feel; it is just more motivating to ride a bike that looks good.
Yes, I am a small guy :) However, it amazes me how many cyclists spend a lot of money to safe a few g on their bikes- while this is nothing compared to their bodyweight :D
@@thenerdymamil8557 Agreed, even myself spent bunch just for 6.3kg bike (which I recently sold), realizing I could enjoy riding equally from a entry level bike. So I focus lowering my weight right now by consuming less carbs and doing bike to work every shifts. I'm 5'4 btw.
@@josephdesales7791 However, it is much more fun riding an expensive road bike than riding an old city bike, even if y ou could get the same kind of exercise effect! 😄 But yes, for weight management optimizing eating is generally more important than exercising.
To Vanity! :D Hope they're are bringing you joy and thanks for sharing!
Thank you and Danke sehr für dein Video! I hope I can bike near my Oma's stadt ein tag, (Gütersloh ins NRW). Danke! Viel grüße von Kanada!
Viel Spaß beim Biken in Gütersloh!
just looks way better :)! Even if you arent faster....it just looks so sick
Thank you for making this video, very helpful! Cheers

Hello, The Nerdy MAMIL. beautifully thrilling video. thank. :)
It’s not vanity. You just like to ride a nice looking bike. 😉👍🏻

Very Germanish! Solid, no fuss review, reflecting your own views rather than rumbling manufacturer’s spec.
“A little less mess. Seems like I’m getting experienced.” 😂😂😂
You should definitely get a power meter. Most important upgrade to any race bike. You can pace the ride much better.
Hallo, wie haben sich über die Zeit die Naben der Zipp verhalten? Sind Sie haltbar oder hattest du Probleme mit den Zipp 176 Naben.
Die Kappen schützen die Kugellager nur schlecht+ Lager waren nach außen nicht gefettet.
Am Vorderrad waren sie deshalb so stark korrodiert, dass sich das Rad kaum noch drehte.
Ich musste die Kugellager tauschen lassen (>100 EUR).
Denkst du wirklich, dass es in Triathlon nur 5 Plätze ausmachen wird? Überlege mir die laufräder für Roth zu kaufe und
303s on way + dura ace for looks LoL. Fantastisch episode ...and had a good laugh at your honesty about non pro riders --we’re all mostly posers

Thank you, great Video 👍 Just think about to buy this weelset, too. How is your "long term" experience so far?
I am glad you like the video.
I don't regret that I got this wheelset 😊
@@thenerdymamil8557 Thank you, ordered the 303s today. Getting some tires is a little bit challenging these days…

nice bike with zipp 303s .is the weird surface pattern show at the begin before use , or showing after use .?
Before use
i also have a rose bike with a pair of 303s, do you also have water coming into the rim
Great video but are they Cabon or Carbon wheels?
Thanks for pointing this out :D
They are Gaboon wheels for wheel monkeys 🙈.
Excellent English and some good English humour too👍😂

Hello, how does it hold air pressure? how often need to repump?
I usually adjust the pressure before every long ride every week or every second week
Probably also depends a lot on the valves you use.
Lol great review. Kept me smiling throughout. "this stupid Zipp hub"
Hi! Which wheels are best for road workouts, zipp 303 firecrest or 303s?
Hi- I only have the Zipp 303s- and I am happy with them 😀
The Firecrest are more expensive- but I have no idea if they are any better.
the rotor is centerlock or 6 bolt type?
Centerlock

@@thenerdymamil8557 exactly! Just waking up and you immediately realize how much of a pretty bike you have gets you up quick to go take a ride :)
Your total weight including yourself and the bike is much more lighter than myself alone which 85kg.
