The Roval CLX has great reviews, however the zipp 2014 Zipp has poor reviews.
Let's finish the ride with a 20% grade.

No. The clx set is excellent, with ceramic bearings from ceramic speed., vs the normal bearings from zipp.

Talk to your Specialized dealer if he will let you trade in your Roval CLX 40 for the new CLX 64 for a good (additional price). May be cheaper and better than going with Zipp.
I agree that Zipp wheels look nice, but while you see many (especially triathletes) use them, they do seem to be VERY unpopular among the knowledgeable croud here.

So my question is should i swap my Roval CLX40 2015 against a pair of zipp 404 2014?
You can always look if you can find Easton Aero 55 tubular at some nice price.
Very nice wheels and the tubular version weights about 1370-1380 g for the set.
If you run these with Veloflex carbon (23mm tires) you will have superb ride feel.

I have the CLX 60s and love them! I was going to buy 404s, but I'm glad I went with the CLX60s.
For the cyclist that has a limited budget, it hard to take them testing products (hubs) that have had high failure rates on our dime. After the problem, they then revise the hub to something different and we are stuck in many cases. I would prefer to buy a product and have faith in it and use it until I need a new one or my needs change.
That is why I do not care for Zipp...

I love the hate for Zipps!! I solely ride and race 404s & 202s for the past 4 years and have had zero issues. In fact I know a number of others who have multiple sets of Zipps with absolutely no hub issues. Maybe we are all the lucky ones.
