FP60: TRUE AERODYNAMIC VALUE
Road race, Tri and TT speed for the rest of us
Oh
sure, you could raid the kids' college savings fund or cash in the 401K
to get yourself race wheels that drop jaws and elicit gasps of horror
on the start line. Or you could put on Flash-Point 60s, and let your
legs do the talking. The deep 60 mm rim ruthlessly controls the airflow
during road races and time trials so you can power the break, catch
your minute man or head into the run with a nice lead on your age group
nemesis. And at just 1836 grams for the set, they'll climb all but the
steepest grades with mountain goat prowess. The only thing they won't
do? Put you into bankruptcy proceedings.
