wheels for climbing?

Question

i have mavic es but if i had 404 zipp or mavic cosmics pros or SL which i was told wer heavier on than my ES what would be the best for climbing steep hills an even a road race which would b flat an some hills

Answer 1

the mavics rock, i swear by them and they've never let me down

Answer 2

Lighter wheel climb better...period. The Zipp 404 clinchers are fairly heavy and your Mavics would be better. However, the 404 tubulars are very light and I like them a lot. BUt your wheels are a great set. I wouldn't think twice about using them.
