I'm currently riding my new 56mm carbon tubs. around the west coast of Norway. In what seem to be the startings of our autumm storms. The wind hits you from the side as you ride along the fjord edge. Then suddenly bounces off the mountian on your opposite side. Effectively changing direction by 180 degrees.
They took me all of 20mins to get used to.
I do have good 'ballast' though.
Those 36 spoke wheels will cost you 6 seconds on the way up, or 0.1watt.
