I have been on the previous Vanquish series from HED for the past 4 years, making it my longest run with any wheel brand - and for a good reason. The wheels made in Minnesota boast not only impressively low drag values, but also excellent crosswind stability.
For this year, they have brought out an overhaul for the whole range. For me, this means a new wheel setup for my TT bike. In this video I will talk about the new wheels in detail, and I will show you how I prepare a standard set to be my race wheelset for TT days, including bearing upgrades and the tire setup + the reasoning behind them.

i don‘t really believe that they are the fastest wheels 24 spokes in modern era and external nipples i think there is still a lot of room for improvment less spokes, carbon spokes (thin an wide) and internal nipples and internal valve eg NEWMEN

@ronykuba 4 месяца назад

Luckily it’s not a question of belief 🙃 Internal nipples do absolutely nothing for aerodynamics, as it has been proven many times. Same goes for carbon spokes. Also, good luck making a durable and stiff DB wheel with fewer than 24 spokes… not that those would anything to the frontal area either. As for the valve, aero valve covers do exist.

Why spend the money to replace the freehub bearings? How much are you coasting when you are racing?

@ronykuba 2 месяца назад

The freehub turns around the axle with the rest of the wheel, doesn’t it 🤷

@windscreen91 2 месяца назад

@@ronykuba You are correct, my bad! That said, the loads in those bearings should be very low relative to the hub bearings, but I can see where lower friction bearings could be a very small marginal gain; similar to a bottom bracket bearing.

Rony, do you have any data to back up the aero advantage claims of Hed over the competition?

@ronykuba 4 месяца назад

Good review, Rony. I believe they are making very solid products, not overly hyped.

@ronykuba 4 месяца назад

Thanks 🙏

Hey Rony, amazing bike (again)! I'm wondering why you moved from the Hanzo? Just fancied a change? I'm envious of either haha 😂. Hope it gives you some seconds so you can win Nationals again.

Thanks! I really liked the geometry, that was the main reason.
