Re: Sweet Spot for Cheap(er) wheels? [cbr shadow]

I see a lot of suggestions for lighter, less aero wheelsets - since these are for crit racing shouldn't I be focused on Aero?

Thanks for the suggestions so far!


Other than the Ardennes, I don't think anyone here has recommended anything that's not at least the equal of FLO 30's, aero-wise. You can make a case for either direction (aero or light) in crit racing, depending what your strengths and weaknesses are. If you're the kind of rider who mostly sits in the pack, but sometimes struggles to keep up with the post-corner surges, the better acceleration of light wheels probably trumps aero. If you're the kind of rider who's likely to lead a long breakaway off the front, aero probably trumps light.
