Think we've had similar discussions in the past about equipment selection, like why some pro's use a road helmet sometimes, etc.
So....was watching the coverage of IMMT the other day. And I noticed, hardly any (if any at all??) of the pro women used a disc wheel...
I don't understand this. Certainly pro women, their coaches, etc have access to the same aero data that all us MOP'ers do, yes? We know that wheel weight doesn't matter, we know that a rear wheel is fixed in a frame so even a lightweight person should not have issues with handling...
What gives?
