I rode FlashPoints for the first time, and wow! One of my friends recently asked me to borrow my 404's. I was a little hesitant at first but he promised me he would pay for them if anything happened. I found some Demo FlashPoint 60's lying around so I thought I would give them a try. I really did not know what to expect.
I couldn't believe how smooth the hubs felt. They felt very similar to my 404's. I picked up some of my friends $1500 carbon rims and their hubs didn't feel any where near as nice. The FlashPoints are a great value at $1100 bucks. They use the same patented rim shape as my 404's. They are so plush, almost all road vibration was non existant. I put some of the Zipp Tangente Tires on them and they flied!! Everyone on the group ride was envious. I have my 404's back now, but I don't think I am going to give the FlashPoints back quite yet. I have a longer ride planned for this weekend. I will let you know how it goes.
