Posted similar questions in other parts of the forum, but I'd appreciate the advice from the track side.
I'm trying to put a track specific bike together and I'm having trouble sifting through which 'track' wheels are actually relevant for training and racing.
As I understand, the deep sections like velocity and H+sons aren't actually what you'd call racing calibre?
What balance do you recommend between aero, weight, strength and rigidity? (And if I'm honest, aesthetics to some extent too).
At the moment I'm verging toward the Mavic Ellipse wheels. And experience from you guys?
Thanks for your help.
