so, know i could say, i know how the FP-wheels really are. i rode them now for some thousends of km. i rode them in flat, in the mountains, in the rain. and it was always a good ride with them.
well, i have some lighter wheels which are better for climbing. the FP are very heavy. neary 2kg is to heavy for good climbing wheels. i have another set tubular-wheels with 1200gr. is easier to climb with them. but we could say, that the FP are starting in another class. my tubular-wheels cost so much as 3 sets of FP. really another class.
and we know, the FP are called as 'workers-zipp'. and there for, they makes here job great. they are stiff and solid. also aero. but i think with flat aerospokes, the wheels could be made more aero again.
its very nice to ride with the FP. so faster you ride, so better is the sound. the make a nice noise, when you ride faster.
in fact, i'm very happy with these wheels. stiff, solid, aero. but no the best wheels for climbing. very good in this price-range.
so then, go we out for another ride.
