after test riding some of our HED demo wheels. Click the links
to go to HED's web page for details. There is also a great article
with Steve Hed in the new issue of ROAD Magazine.
Geoff Wood took out the new Ardennes for a few days. The Ardennes
Has a wider rim so there is less "bulb" to the tire. They're clincher
rims but they ride like tubulars. This is what Geoff had to say after
picking up a set for himself:
"I rode the new Hed Ardennes demo wheelset this past weekend and am pretty impressed. They claim to have the same ride quality as a tubular without the "hassle". I'll leave that opinion to you guys who ride tubulars regularly, but as far as clinchers go they are a fabulous ride. Compared to my usual wheels, (Ksyrium SLs' ) or even the Hed Bastognes' on my new R3SL they are light, stick like glue and definitely have less rolling resistance. i'm going to ride them again an would like to hear what others think"
Pro Mtb rider and road racer Alex Ryan had this to say about the
HED Stinger 60 Carbon Tubulars:
"The Stinger 60’s are crazy fast. These wheels are extremely responsive and also very smooth. I've never ridden wheels that accelerate this fast. They will be great race wheels! "
