How does ZIPP Tangente SL Speed tubular behave in the rain? Review from road.cc describes tire's behavior in wet conditions as "skittish", but I'm not sure what riding conditions this relates to (i.e. group ride or TT?).
I have one glued to my Zipp 808 (front) for racing and love it. However there is 60% chance of rain for a 70.3 this weekend. I have never ridden this (front) tire in the rain. The course is not overly technical.
Should I ride Zipp 808 with SL Speed tubular in the front, or should I swap my front wheel for a trainer wheel (axis 2.0 with continental GP4000s)? All things considered I would like to go faster, but don't want to take any unnecessary risks.
Rear tire is Continental tubular, which I have ridden in the rain before and am not concerned about.
