I was test riding a few bikes over the weekend and the guys at the local LBS suggested the Spinergy Tilium wheels would dampen the ride of the Cervelo. I rode the Dual, P2K, and QR Caliente. My question is has anyone tried the Tilium? If I just got a deep carbon rim such as the Xaero carbon SS without the PBO spokes would that provide some shock dampening qualities as well? Also are the bladed spokes that much more aero than the PBO's? I am assuming since the PBO spokes offer schock dampening qualities, I will be giving up a little bit on power transfer, after all the energy absorbed by the PBO spoked rim will have to come from somewhere.
BAckground: I am a MPOer and I am not really concerned with shaving off a few seconds off a 40k time trial. I am more concerned with being able to stay aero for longer and saving my legs for the run.
