You could always go 60/60.

Ive rode the 60/90 combo for the last couple years and never had a problem... but I'm a bit heavier than you. That being said I juts upgraded to 90/disc.

Any way you slice you won't go wrong with FLOs.

My own $0.02 is 45/90. I used to have a 303/808 setup and it handled amazingly well in the wind.

Thanks for the interest. Most people can confidently handle a front FLO 60 wheel in anything but the worst wind conditions. That said, even a training wheel is hard to control in the worst wind conditions. The 60/90 is our best selling combo, but he 45/60 is also a great option, especially if you are going to put them on a road bike and log your winter miles on them. The shallower front wheel will be even easier to control, without sacrificing much speed.

I'm currently riding a 45/45 set on my road bike and really love that wheel set. I think for an all around road/tri set, the 45/60 would be great. Additionally, now that we sell the 60 rims, you can easily have your powertap built in.

One last thing to remember if you are a tentative rider in windy conditions, is that having a rear wheel deeper than your front wheel actually helps stabilize you. The increased surface area at the back end of your bike moves your center of pressure backwards, which increases stability. Just something to keep in mind if you were considering 60/60 and are a timid rider.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Take care,

Hey Chris thanks for the reply.

Would 45/90 make any sense? I'm not sure how that would play out.

I guess more than anything, I lack experience more than anything, which is why the decision is hard. So if a 45/60 compared to a 60/90 setup is marginal, I guess I would roll with 45/60but, if 60/90 has a decent amount of advantages then I would go with the 60/90. Thanks!

Honestly dude, I've been riding since December and around march i put a 90/90 combo sure did get a bit schetchy but was namaged easily eventually.

What I'm saying is grow a pair and dont go less than 60/90 combo... anything less is for road bikes! Lol (I'm just giving you a hard time) worst thing is to know that was easy to handle and you didn't even try! IMO.

Speed kills unless you have speed skills!!!

The 45/90 will also work well. You'll get the extra aero advantage of the deeper rear wheel, and a very easy to handle front wheel that is still very aero. Keep in mind that our new FLO 45 is faster than our old FLO 90, so don't think the FLO 45 is slow.

With respect to how a 60/90 compares to a 45/60, you'd be saving less than a minute over an ironman by going with the 60/90. Take that down to a 40K and you'd be less than 15 seconds.

I hope that helps,
