Zipp 302 or Roval?

[oldgreyandslow]

Not sure whether to consider the zipp 302 disc, currently available at Sigma for £1043, or Roval C38 at £899 or maybe stretch to £1299 for the Roval CL50.

Any thoughts, suggestions?

I know I could go handbuilt to DCR for example and I have a couple of sets from there already, not disc brake wheels though

I've got Zipp 302 discs - they are a fantastic wheelset. They are really strong, robust and look awesome.

Two guys I know ride roval. One had a freewheel problem the other had spokes break. I would go for Zipp.

I've got some older Roval wheels, fantastic quality. (sub company of Specialised I believe.)

I’ve got the same Roval Pavee wheels as @raleighnut, excellent wheels and the old style sheriff star hubs look great.
I’ve also got a pair of Roval Fusee SL25 which are alloy but as light as many carbon wheelsets, I’ve had one broken spoke on these, apart from the one issue they are superb wheels.

Another thumbs up for the Zipp wheels (at least once the rather garish stickers are removed).

I have recently bought a set of the zipps and have been really pleased with them, if you have any long term thoughts on resale value i would consider them as having watched a few sets get sold on eBay they seem to hold their value fairly well compared to other brands.
