It would be great if Xavier of Aerocoach could produce a little hard data showing that Jet+ and Corsa Speed is the bomb. Otherwise, I'm probably going old school with the 808+tubular. The other advantage of that setup is it gives me a slight "funny-bike" advantage, with the front end being 5-10mm lower.
I've been training on a Jet 9 front and Jet 9+ rear with Conti TTs. They're excellent for training because of puncture resistance but the Corsa Speeds knock them out of the park for CdA and Crr, it's just an excellent combo. We have some public data on the way from one of our team riders who was using a HED3 front with Bonty 19mm Aerowing and the Jet9+ & Corsa Speed utterly destroyed it. Hoping to get it out on the FB page this week along with other stuff that we tested (he rides a Zipp 3001 so people were interested in his CdA data!).
The data we collect in our test sessions with clients is strictly confidential, and we don't ever publicise who's come to our sessions unless agreed beforehand, so everything is kept quite under wraps. What I will say is that we've sold ~£15k worth of wheels in the past 8 weeks alone since riders have tested with us and seen for themselves how good that J9+/CS combo is (and people do tend to turn up with really nice kit!).
Well, to be fair...when using a combined aero drag + Crr evaluation, that's not a very high bar to clear. Just switching the Bonty 19mm to an SS20 on an H3 "utterly destroys" it (H3 w/Bonty 19mm AW, that is)...
The combined difference was far more than that above, all the exact numbers will come out in a bit
