I am torn between a 60/60 or 60/90. I am a little guy (5'9" & race at about 135lbs). My last 70.3 I averaged 21.1mph. I am buying these wheels for triathlons from sprint to 140.6. Triathlon is the main reason I am buying these but I would also love to throw them on my road bike every now and then. I also plan on getting a wheelcover for the rear.
I know that either combo will be much better than my training wheels that I have been racing on so I just want to post this and get some people opinions. I have read and reread Flo's responses on this so I just want to get everyone else’s .02. So at my weight and speed what would you get?
P.S.
I am leaning toward the 60/90 basically because it is a toss up and I like how the 90 rear looks.
My understanding is that the 90 is better than a 60 only if you can maintain speeds greater than ~24mph. And considering that you are so light, it would seem that the 60/60 combo is exactly what you need. I am 6'1" 155lbs, and riding on 808s makes me feel a bit unsafe when there are even moderate crosswinds. If I end up getting FLOs, I'll be getting the 60/60 and a wheel cover.
