here it is. my pimped out ride for the worlds. wheel selection for edinburgh is crucial, and after giving it a lot of thought and weighing out the pros and cons, i've decided to go with front and rear 808s. i typically ride with a front 808 and a 900 rear disc, but a disc wheel just won't cut it for such a hilly, technical course. i was thinking or racing with front/rear 404s, which would be great for the hills, but i'm going with the 808s because they're light and stiff enough to deliver power on the climbs, but they're also deep enough to give me an aero advantage on the flats. the key to edinburgh will be recovering quickly in preparation for the next climb, and i'll take every advantage that the 808s will give me.
