Look 695 SR with the Lightweight VR8 8-Spoke Time Trial Wheel
Dang, what a great combination!
Today I rode the Look 695 SR with the Lightweight VR8 8-spoke time trial wheel (I had been riding the Lightweight Obermayer front wheel).
I really enjoyed this combination; it feels hyper fast and super stable on downhills; the extra momentum of the Lightweight VR8 (heavier rim section) along with the superb structural rigidity of the Look 695 SR made it a breeze for a few very fast descents on a nice and dry Old La Honda road.
Regrettably, both the Look 695 SR and the Lightweight VR8 wheel are loaners, and neither company has expressed any interest in sponsoring me. Oh well, a middle-aged geezer can’t expect too much.
