HED Jet 60 on test

I had the opportunity to test out the new HED JET 60's. I learned that I was one of two people to get on these-  thanks again to the HED clan. The change for this model is a wider rim, expanded to 23mm. This allows for an increase in stretch to the tire, thus increasing the amount of the tire surface to the ground.

I took the opportunity to take the wheels through the Las Vegas strip and up into the canyons. Climbing the wheels did great. Once you get them up to spped > 18 mph they start to roll good, but on the way down over 25 mph plus they ROCK. These wheel just roll. They did a great job soaking up the road chatter and vibration.

The second test was the Industry Crit or better know as test your bike skills. The wheels perfromed awesome. They accelerate out of the corners quickliy and the breaking surface is spot on. I got to experience this first hand as I skidded into the barriers as one of the many crashes occurred

Overall impression is a great solid wheel that could be used for crits to TT
