After a recent bike purchase, I have two wheelsets: Shimano Dura Ace 9000 C35 (35mm), and Oval 950F (50mm). Which is faster? I don't see any speed difference when I ride, but I probably wouldn't notice a quarter or half mph.

I would guess the oval's would be faster due to the deeper rim and I think they are the same width as the DA C35s. The DA C35's will have much better hubs, probably more durable, and are stiffer. Personally I would keep the DA C35s as they are known as the some of the best all-around wheels out there.

This might help you decide. http://intheknowcycling.com/...climbing-descending/
If you're talking about the clincher C35s then the Ovals are definitely faster.
