What wheels would you put on a Pinarello Dogma F10 ?
Moderator: robbosmans
I'm building a Pinarello Dogma F10 bike and I have to decide on a wheel set that would match the bike.
The requirements would be:
- tubular (is not mandatory, but I know tubulars are more lighter compared to the rest)
- depth > 40mm
- as low (weight) as possible but no fancy (hard to repair, exotique, carbon spokes, etc..) wheels like Lightweight
- proven good/great breaking performance (mostly on dry, I hate to ride on wet, but you can't control the weather sometimes )
- to somehow match Pinarello brand (here I mean that no Roval wheels for example that work hand in hand with Specialized)
My first choice at this moment is Campa Bora Ultra/One 50mm, but I would love a more non-mainstream wheelset, like Ax Lightness, Smolke, the problem is that I don't know how good are these brands in terms of braking, aero...

If I should build a Pinarello with Campagnolo my A choice would be Campgnolo Bora Tubular or otherwise Bora WTO 60.
If it is the Shimano /Sram way you are going it would be Zipp 404 tubular / Dura Ace C60 tubular.
A Pinarello F10 will suit 50 or 60mm rims better that 30 or 40 mm rims, and since you live in Romania is't not to windy on a daily basis so.

Personally I'd stick to Campa WTO's. One of the best and nicest understated wheels from what I understand.
I don't like the new Zipp's looks, hookless and decals and those don't really fit an Italian brand anyway.
Might consider Schmolke or Lightweights. With a bit of luck you can find a really nice barely used/discounted set around €2.500, but since I would like to use mine every day, those don't seem the most practical/serviceable to me. Zipp and Campa really are a step ahead when it comes to every day use I would say. Vision/Mavic/Miche/DT Swiss/FFWD etc. all lose out to Bora's (i.e. not special either, but less fitting to a Dogma).
Obviously I don't have experience with all (or more than one even), so it's hard to give a solid objective advice.

A new idea,custom wheelset tubular:
-Rims Corima 32 mm depth front, 47 rear depth, besides you can choose 22.6 or 26 mm width.
-Hubs the best rolling possible ,I think Gokiso, if not Phil Wood or Royce, with less weight than those 3 hubs DT 240 or Chris King or White Industries or Industry Nine
-Spokes Cxray/CX Sprint,or DT Aerolite/Aerocomp
-Tubulars FMB silk or Dugast silk or Veloflex
- Skewers Dura ace 9100 or 9000
I really think this wheelset would be the best performance ever with a good wheelbuilder

You don´t stop riding when you get old, you get old when you stop riding.
Thank you guys for all your replies and ideas, the Bora WTO 45 catched my attention, the wheels look stunning and the posibility to go tubeless it tempts me badly
