• Next question for the hive mind.

    My Ryde Pulse Sprint wheelset, or Tao Geoghegan-Hart's Bontrager Aerolus 3?

    Ryde Pulse Sprint - 1250g
    Veloflex Record - 300g
    Vredestien Latex Tubes - 120g
    Total: 1670g

    2014 Bontrager Aeolus 3 tubular - 1150g
    Bontrager xxx - 260g
    Vittoria Corsa - 250g
    Total: 1660g

    Actually now I've written it down it's a no brainer. The Bonts will be way stiffer and more aero.

  • tubs though which means faff (more than clinchers) .. do you need stiffness and aero?

  • Why not hold out for a proper lightweight wheelset? Get some Vittoria Crono tubs, 180g each which is there the real benefit of tubs is.

  • If traction is an issue, stiffer may not be better.

    Without knowing the split of mass between hub and rim, you can't compare those wheelsets in terms of angular momentum.
