Food for Thought

For those racers looking to go Carbon Tubular in 2008, I truly believe we have the most compelling Carbon Tubular Package on the market. Here is a little research I have put together for your review.

38mm and 58mm Carbon Tubular Price Comparison.
(all the below companies use Zipp's OEM Pave Carbon Tubular Rims)

In the end, it comes down to the "direct to consumer" model. It is important to understand that the value lies in the fact that the consumer is buying at wholesale prices.

38mm
Williams = $1,199
American Classic = $1,495
Rol = $1,595
Rolf = $1,799

58mm
Williams = $1,199
American Classic = $1595
Rol = $1,595
Rolf = $2,099

NOTE: The athlete can race high performance carbon tubular wheels for the cost of an expensive alloy clincher......food for thought!
