Hi
I was just at a press conferation about Shimanos 2004 stuff, especially the new Dura Ace. Talking to the guys about the new wheelset (normal spokeplacement, 16 bladed spokes f/r), they said the new wheels were lighter but much less aerodynamic than the old Shimano wheels. Actually they said, the old wheels with the paired spokes were some of the most aerodynamic wheels on the market! I never heard any of you considering buying shimano wheels for aerodynamic reasons. What´s your opinion on them?
Regards
Martin
