Subject: Flo Wheels So I bought a power meter last month. I was going to buy the Flo wheels this month, during the June sale. I woke up to see the message the sale was on and the next message was they are sold out. Man that was fast, I did not know they sold so fast. I guess it's like sitting and waiting for concert tickets to go on sale. |

Subject: RE: Flo Wheels I signed up for the sale and thought it would be a notice to those that signed up first. I did not see a pre-order spot on the site. Joe |

Elite 3090 Spokane, WA | Subject: RE: Flo Wheels Well that sucks! I signed up for Order 20 and received the confirmation email. I even emailed them to clarify the process, and got a prompt response from Jon that I'd get an email about the sale time-- nothing. I'm glad you posted this or I would have never known. Looks like it's time to evaluate Plan B. Thanks again for the info. ETA: I'm open to suggestions if anyone has a preference for an affordable front clincher. I'm thinking about the Zipp 60, but open to suggestions. Would like to stay under $600. I'm going to do a WB cover in back. Edited by zed707 2015-06-04 5:09 PM |

Here's a 60/90 set on eBay now.Well that sucks! I signed up for Order 20 and received the confirmation email.

On ST some have been asking about the Chinese wheels and almost all have come back with favorable reviews if you stay with the known companies. You can get carbon or even Al-fairing like FLO with the same wide and U shape. I recall someone over there recently asking about the Zipp60 and was told there's much better to choose from. |

Elite 3090 Spokane, WA | Subject: RE: Flo Wheels Thanks for the reply Donto. I recall a thread here where it was suggested the Zipp 60 at full retail is not a good buy-- like $700. But PBK has them for right around $500 shipped. My limited knowledge about these things tells me the Flo 60 is not really much, or any, better than the Zipp. They're both carbon/alloy with similar configuration But after shipping, the Flo and the Zipp would be about the same price. Certainly open to more suggestions and discussion.

Pro 6582 Melbourne FL | Subject: RE: Flo Wheels Originally posted by zed707 The Zipp60 is Al-fairing using the old Hybrid Toriodal shape and the U shaped wheels are suppose to offer better stability in cross winds. As I recall seeing it stated on ST by one of the "experts", the new 60 (U) handles like the old 40 (HT) and the 80 is like the old 60. I ride were there are a lot of cross-winds (coastal FL) so I waited for a U shaped wheel to come my way. Granted in low yaw not that big of a deal, front tire width has a lot to do with aero.Thanks for the reply Donto.

New user 121 Green Bay, WI | Subject: RE: Flo Wheels I got an email from Flo an hour before the sale this morning.....as well as one yesterday. I wasn't even on the list but probably still on the newsletter from last year when I bought mine. For those that can wait til next month I love my 60/90 combo. But would probably go straight 60's if I had to do it over. |
