lol, you're in Florida so it makes sense that you like deeper wheels

^ :D add Bora One 50s to the quiver being shipped to me now. The classic 65s are great for the flats but its freaking very winding during the winter and near the Gulf so I think these 50s will be a happy medium.

Is there a noticeable difference in stiffness between the 35 and 55? My friend is 220 and he flexes his attacks. Are there weight limits on the 35/50?

I have not ridden the 35s but the 50s I own are stiff....much stiffer than my Reynolds DT hub wheels. At 220 he should definitely get 50s and they will be stiffer than 35s.

Interestingly about stiffness, the Bora Ones hub flanges are significantly wider than DTs and Kings. I am sold on them. May sell off my ENVEs and Reynolds to get some BO35s too.

In researching my buy of the 35's, Every on line post and review that weighed them Had a real weight less than the listed weight.

Hi
Maybe silly question, but anyway, has anybody run the Bora 35 in front and the Bora 50 in rear. Similar as Enve 3.4? I realize the Enve also has different widths, but curious?

Thanks

Haven't done it but there's no reason you couldn't. I just don't like that "asymmetric" look.
Colnago C64 - The Naked Build; Colnago C60 - PR99; Trek Koppenberg - Where Emonda and Domane Meet;
Unlinked Builds (searchable): Colnago C59 - 5 Years Later; Trek Emonda SL Campagnolo SR; Special Colnago EPQ
