Zipp 303 Tubular Anyone got them?

Just ordered some of my local bike shop as he swears by them in terms of being the most aero at speed?

Lots of research but nothing conclusive really

Tried the clincher version and my average over my local ride of 30 miles went from 16 mph to 18 mph with about 2,500 feet of climbing

Didn't "feel" as good as my Cero AR30 Alloys on the climbs but these as super light alloy wheel I have.

Anyone got 303's on here and enjoy them?

I felt 303's are a good compromise, my hills are 25% 33% and a lot of 10% climbs around me.

The wheels are for the weekly club rides which is very fast pace and they all use tubs, it's a risk I'll take.

The mechanic is very fast at swapping tubs at roadside however I will need to learn the art off him.

No offence, but if you're averaging 16mph on anything but a commute, I struggle to believe you'll be going at a very fast pace, enough to feel much, if any benefit of aero wheels.

The very fast pace I cant really hold yet, they will be in the high teens, i'm more mid pack at the moment. They have been riding along time and some average 300 miles per week. I've only been riding since march last year.

I felt the benefit straight away on the flats. Much easier to hold a higher speed near the 20 mph and above range. Most of my rides are around 3,000 feet of climbing so the average is always around 16's after this is taken into account.

The climbs I probably wont feel a huge difference? Not sure yet but I was losing out on the fast flats where I would burn out after a 50 mile ride.

Less effort to keep these wheels spinning will help me sustain my energy longer hopefully.

Still new to cycling and have much to learn, but feel progress after every ride.
