Maybe some resident expert can help me its been messing with my mind like crazy.
I have a pair of custom built road wheels with H + Son Archetypes, Sapim Laser Spokes 1.5 section throughout and Dura Ace Hubs only they are 32H both front and rear... i've always been satisfied with them.. im rather heavy at 88kg - never thought they had any flex at least not climbing - they come in quite light at around 1600 1650 w/ skewers
Here's the problem
Should i worry about the high spoke count especially on the front keeping me down aerowise ??
p.s. i can avg 35-36k/h on the flat with decent wind conditions and recently tried cosmic carbones they did glide nicely on the flats but i did have a tuffer time climbing on them.
p.s.s. i tried comparing with aksiums which are heavier but since no 2 rides were alike in conditions im starting to think its all in my head.
