I was looking into a set of race wheels and I'm trying to decide between the Bontrager Aura 5's and a Flo 60/90 combination. I can get both for a fairly similar price and was trying to decide which one would be better.

Thanks!
If people can see you from the front you're not aero enough.

I would guess 60/90 would be a bit quicker and handle a bit better. Auras if you want to try tubeless (no point imo).

I have Aura 5's and am trying to sell them to get the 60/90 set up.

Just FYI, our wheels can be run tubeless with a Stan's kit.

Just on the road for fit (e.g. how much sealant, does it burp, is it a huge PITA to install, etc.)

I would just follow Stan's recommendations. I'm not familiar with what you mean by "burping". Installation should be the same as any other rim on a "PITA scale".

Personally I love my Aura 5's. They made a huge difference in my ride. But to be honest I was going from stock wheels, but I would choose the Auras again
