Too light for an 808?

I have been offered an zipp 808 front, which I will probably pair with a disc, but I only weigh 69kg, and will probably drop to 67-68 soon. Will I find an 808 front too hard going in the wind? Am I better going for a 404?

    Britspin,



    If someone who was new to this forum read that then they would be concerned!!!



    Its been a long time since Tommitri and Treefrog were on the forum, where have they been?

    I've been working shifts so I'm like a zombie, on nights at the moment so not much time to write on the forum.



    Yeh I know conehead, I'm pretty lightweight for 6'1 ! think my BMI is about 19.5 or something now, but I am healthy!

    Oh and I've lost about a stone since I last saw you britspin, are you doing hereford again this year? I thought it was worth entering for the £10 off!



    Yeh I get what you mean conehead, I'm trying to weigh up all my options at the moment, planet x on sale, zipp 808s, zipp 404s, xentis. I will have a look at the enzos tho thanks.
