Mike, so am I looking at this right that would I benefit more overall by going from a Jet60 front to a Jet90 front than by going from a Jet90 rear to a disk, given the 50% reduction in the difference you calculated? Is this still true (even more true) if riding at 24mph?

I think you read the numbers right.

At 4 MPH wind, the numbers say you'd be better off going with the deeper front.

At 8 MPH, you'd be better off going with a disk...unless you use the 50% degradation estimate.

Again, this is all with old, stale yaw data. The latest wheels may differ. I ended up choosing the Jet 60 front over the 90 because I was sure I could use it in just about all wind conditions. If I had unlimited funds, I'd choose a deeper front wheel (or HED 3!) for low-wind days, and a mid-deep, easy handling wheel for windy days. As, JM says, I'd always choose the rear disk.
