    Is kinda pointless right? Since you're big and will be moving at speed, on flat circuits surely you should be going aero. And not archetypes on this.

    Yeah, this might be true. But less mass in wheels is quicker in the sprint no? So a middle-of-the-road wheelset.

    And I think this needs some 32mm carbon clinchers. Not as lairy as @Dammit wants it I reckon but still..

  • Quicker to accelerate I think but the gainz are slim compared to aerodynamics

  • A-Force AL33 if you want v aero but alloy? My set with bitex hubs and c-xray come in at a smidge under 1500g,

  • Nah, the weight savings are minimal from a 30 to a 50mm carbon rim. But you'll get a stiffer, stronger, more aero wheel. The only times I wish for less than 50 are descending exposed roads with strong winds, but you won't get that in a crit.
    Most importantly, they look better and do a nice hum sound.
