• Sorry to distract from team GB, but what would be the approx time/aero gain between the following sets of wheels - riding 310km from London to Paris (solo) at around 25kph average?

    Mavic Ksyrium Elite (2014 ish)
    Giant P-SLR 1 50mm clinchers

    Mavics are really easy to change a tyre, I have had some angry moments, and pinched tubes with the Giants, so just trying to weigh up the options.

  • At 25kph, you're about 25kph slower than the speed generally used in aero tests.

    I assume this won't be on closed roads, so use the lighter of the two wheels so that accelerating from zero takes less effort.
