Zipp 808 Deep Section Wheels
These are a little beyond my price bracket, actually, at £1400. The deep section rims on these wheels have a leticular cross-section and aerodynamic dimpling, like a golf ball. This model is for tubular tyres, which can take a higher pressure, thus reducing rolling resistance. The rims on the tubular varients are also full carbon, meaning they are just that bit lighter.Although the Zipps are very nice, I've now got a pair of Planet-X Pro Carbon 50's, which come highly recommended and are more than £700 cheaper. My Pro Carbon 50's are for clincher tyres, not tubulars, as good tubulars are expensive and should be demoted from competition if they are repaired after a puncture. I can't justify that expense based on my performances, yet, so I'm sticking to clinchers, which are cheaper and easy to repair. Both these and the Zipp 808s are what they call 'draught legal', which means they are permitted to be used for road races, as well as time trials.
Look Keo Carbon/Titanium Pedals
These are nolonger on my wish list, as I bought a pair before going to Majorca in March 2009. These have found a home on my Pinarello FP5. Apart from the original Look Delta pedals that I have on the turbo trainer, which have their own dedicated shoes, I'm consolidating on Look Keo pedals for the Pinarello, the Giant and Condor. The Carbon/Titanium model is significantly lighter than either the Classic or Sprint models I already have. I'm keeping mountain bike shoes for the SPDs that I'd use on the Sirius, if I return to use cyclo-cross for winter training, but that is a special purpose.

The fastest bit of kit on here. Hey, we can all wish! ;-)
