If anyone can possibly lend me there disc wheel for Ironman 70.3 Antwerp for the 24th July, I would really appreciate it. I am toying with idea of buying one
but would like to see in a race the difference it can make.At the moment I have HED Tri spoke wheelset. I will obviously insure it and replace it if its damaged. Would appreciate any help as I'm hoping to qualify for 70.3 World Champs in Vegas!! :) email davepatmorehill@yahoo.com

Hi Dave.

This website offers race day wheels for hire, but they seem to only operate in America - including Vegas on 11th September.

Also last year, Dave Wagstaff put an email around saying that members could borrow his disc wheel if they were careful with it. Last year Dave wasn't racing though. This year he is.
