Actually I'm here husband Brian. I also have a blog called : theadventuresoftaconiteboy.blogspot.com Where I pretend to be the blogosphere's first superhero. If you want to hear more about crazy superhero tri talk, tune into the Tacboy n' Bigun's podcast. Available 24/7 on iTunes!
Moving on from that shameless plug. I have a confession. I love Kari's flash points.
OK..I stole her flash points.
Let's just say that I found an opportunity to use them due to some injuries that she had last year. I am not a serious age group triathlete, but I do like to work hard when I'm on the bike. What a joy these wheels were to ride. The first time I tried them out last year, I instantly noticed was how comfortable my tri-bike rode. The FP's really cushioned and dampened the road vibrations which was a welcome benefit considering I was training for Ironman Wisconsin! This was not my main objective with placing these wheels on my bike, but it sure was a welcome one.
The speed benefit can really be appreciated on these wheels as your speed nears 17-22 miles per hour. I liken it to riding in a 'slot'. When you enter this rigid track, due to the aerodynamic design of the wheels, you were pure power and speed. It's awesome!
The bottom line is that these wheels provide comfort and increased efficiency during your rides. Whether your training for a sprint triathlon or the full Ironman distance, you'll find these well priced carbon wheels a great addition to your triathlon gear!
Have a great season!
Brian (Taconite Boy)
