im planning to upgrade my wheelset im choosing between MAVIC CARBONE SL or ZIPPS 404 just wondering which one of these is a good value for my hard earned money?
and including serviceablity and reliability since i can only afford to buy once.
@SuperWeng10 Great question. Both Mavic and Zipp make incredible wheels. The Mavic Carbone SL is a fairing wheel - basically it is an aluminum rim with a carbon fairing bonded together (the spokes are attached to the rim and NOT the actual carbon). The Zipp 404 is a true carbon wheel and the spokes attach to the carbon. The Zipp 404 is lighter and more aerodynamic than the Mavic Carbone SL; however, you pay for this advantage - just like everything else that is lighter and faster.
