• I have aero wheels and love them and they do work. For training though I prefer "slower" wheels as they make me work a little bit harder. Same goes for training tyres they are always one with higher Crr.

    The difference between the flo wheels and OP wheels will be more than 2W it could 15W @30moph at 30kph it would alot less maybe small handful of Watts. However most folk ride low spoke count wheels e.g. campag Zonda's and the difference between these and the flo's maybe in the order of <5W @30mph. don't get me wrong in a TT situation even if all you can do is a 19mph average aero wheels do make some difference it is real. I don't think the difference is dream like though you still have to work.

    Miche Primato do fixed hubs in 28H. I have some on the way from Miche. BLB also sell there own hubs in 28H. Phil Wood and Paul do 28H hubs. Plenty of choice really.

    That's basically what I said. The drag power at 30km/h is only about 22% of that at the usual testing speed of 50km/h

  • That was pretty much the exhaustive list of hub options I'd come across…but:
    Miche - cheese
    BLB - A.BLB B. Low flange
    Paul - Weird chainline
    Phil - $$$

    Any other options?

    But what you're saying is I should scrap this idea and come visit Glemhole for a pair of hand built open pros?

    Get an extra 24H rim, then you can use a Novatec hub, which is easily available in 24H

    I've exchanged a few emails with Jon (Co-founder) and he recommended 28h, even then was slightly reluctant to give it the thumbs up until I'd said it would be built 3x but someone who knows what they're doing. Reckon 24h would be fine and he's just being over cautious?

    Sale opens (and probably closes again) in the morning…I'd better sleep on it
