Subject: HED H3 versus Hed 3D clincher
I have the first one, I noticed there is also HED 3D as well. I was curious to know the real difference aside from being more expensive. I assume both are carbon wheels and I know their description talks about the second being alittle faster in certain wind yaw angles. Is that the only real difference? 

I was alittle nervous since I just got the HED H3 and thought that it was not all carbon and that the 3D was the carbon one. (excluding the rim which I know is Al for mine). They are both carbon correct? Thanks

The "D" is for "deep". It has a deeper lip and will be generally faster if you can handle crosswinds.

Yes, they are both carbon.  Biggest difference is rim depth.  H3 is 55mm, H3D is 90mm.

Thanks, wow, that is deep. I'm pretty happy with the standard Hed3, but noticed the D and was sure of the difference except cost. Makes sense :@)

The H3D will 'Generally' NOT be faster than a regular H3 unless you can constantly ride at +30mph. Check Hed's website for more info.

I admit, when I *think* of an H3, it always eludes me that they make a rear

But you are right, on the rear it's different, and an H3d should be faster.

I should have specified originally. I would actually love to test ride this combo vs a disc rear and vs. a disc and maybe a Jet6 or Jet9 front. I'd be curious how much, if any, difference there is. Not to mention, I'd love to see if I could handle the H3d rear and H3 front. I'm pretty confident in my handling skills, being an MTB'er, so I'd like to think a little wind blowing me around would be easy!

Train harder than you race... in which case I suggest getting a disc for the front AND rear haha

LOL...but then you would lose at least 8 seconds and negate the use of the aerojackets
