I was wondering if anyone can give me advice on Zipp race wheels or similar. My bike shop wants to put me in 303's but I'm a very strong and agressive bike racer and time trialist and feel they are underestimating me as a female cyclist since they put most females in the 303's for handling reasons. Anyone out there who can tell me anything? I race a Cervelo P3 carbon. Thanks!

I understand why the bike shop would put women on a shallower rim, since the deeper rims sometimes increase the steering torque in a cross wind.
I ride trispokes, sometimes in gusty winds, and while I may swerve a bit now and then with changing cross winds, I've never crashed because of it. Besides, I like the speeds I can get with 'em!
But never mind what they want to sell; what wheels do you want to buy? :)
I've heard the 404's are the best all around Zipp wheel. If you look at their website, it seems to bear that out. I was listening to a rep selling them at IM Florida, that's where I heard that.
