Zipp Speed Weaponry SUB-9 Disc Wheel -Tubular - 2008

The Zipp Speed Weaponry SUB-9 Tubular Disc Wheel is so light and aerodynamic that it actually produces lift instead of drag in wind tunnel tests. It's a good thing, too, because at this price you could easily buy a decent bike (with TWO wheels). However, if you are a deadly serious triathlete, Ironman competitor, or twitchy time-trial thoroughbred, the SUB-9 is the ultimate and final method to keep your splits dropping, short of dipping yourself in Teflon and riding buck naked. Watch out for crosswinds.

Bottom Line: Dominate the sprint scene, or build the world's fastest, priciest unicycle.

Who is the OREC? I go by the rules at www.usacycling.org or the USCF/UCI rule book. Where are you racing Iceland?

OREC is the Oklahoma Real Estate Commission. They are very strict in these matters.

Poseurs only need apply

Nice wheels, too bad only poseurs and grad students use them as OREC rules officially state that Zipp's are suitable for training purposes only.
