I know traditionally people have winter wheels and summer wheels.
With the winters being clinchers and the summers these days being deep carbon tubs that double up as a race set...
I'm in the market for some nice summer/race wheels, but am thinking:
now carbon clinchers are readily available could a 32-38mm depth act as an all year round solution?
Being a general skinflint has provoked this idea, but there must be a reason why people don't do this...
Maybe the braking in the wet? Or 30something mm isn't enough aero for a competitive advantage?
Any thoughts?
