I got my act together this last year and finally saved and scrounged enough money to put together a bike that is *significantly* faster than my old ride (P2SL with stock bar/components -> New P2 w/TriRig bars). One thing I noticed this year is that with my front end being carbon/much lighter, I feel far more affected by winds.
I've used an old-school DuPont TriSpoke for years, and it has served me well w/o exception, but on multiple occasions this year I've been completely blown around. A new front wheel purchase is right at the top of my purchase list, and I'm wondering what the best option for me might be, given that I own a serviceable TriSpoke. I'm a big dude (6'7", ~205-210lbs), but the TriSpoke just seems unbearable in windy/uncovered races.
Should I get a different deep front that handles better? A mid-range depth option? I was looking at the Flo 60 or 90 as options because of affordability, and could make gameday decision b/w new wheel or TriSpoke, but if there's an expensive swiss army knife of a wheel (ie one "ultimate" solution) that's expensive, I could sell the TriSpoke and be a little spendier. Obviously aero is an absolute priority.
