brand new Zipp 101 or used Zipp 303
Moderator: robbosmans
Hi all,
Please advice which wheel set should I choose.
Brand new Zipp 101 or used Zipp 303(2011 non firecrest tubular with GP4000 tires mounted in good condition). The 303 sets are US $300 expensive than the 101.
Thanks all

Buy another set of wheels. You can have better wheels for the money.

I don't think you need to worry about the durability of the 2010-2011 303s.

durability of the 303 is unquestionably high. what it really comes down to is:
cost of flat tires. tubulars=expensive in these situations.\
all-weather braking. carbon surfaces, while improved, still suck in the wet for braking.
cost of replacing a rim if you do end up putting it into a ditch.
... and that's about it. besides those points, the 303s are lighter, a bit more aero.

can't really advise unless we know what you're using the wheels for. both are durable. you say you don't race, but if you buy the 303's and are planning on using them as your everyday wheelset, are you comfortable riding a tubular and changing a tubular on the road?
you already have a decent set of alloy clinchers in the neutron. . .what do you plan on doing with the 101's?
