Looking for the best value in a clincher disc wheel. To mean that means speed, durability, ease of use. I have been considering 1-5 year old Zipps and HEDs ranging from $600 to $1,100. Are there any years or models to avoid? Is there another brand I should consider?

Flo comes to mind.

A disc cover on a powertap does as well

If you don't have a power meter yet, this is the absolute best idea ever. It will make you faster in races AND your training will get more efficient.

Forgot about Renn!
I've had a 575 for years and it's been a great wheel.

I know that annular tears mean there is a risk for a bigger disc blow-out. How do I continue to train and compete without putting myself at risk for worsening of my injury?

My back wheel needs to be trued up. It has a slight side-to-side wobble, and I feel at times like I'm going to lose control when I ride. Is this something that I should only trust to my LBS to do?
