Those with HED Vanquish RC8s (80mm depth)and/or RCD (disc wheel): how do you find their performance in crosswinds?
Background: I recently purchased this wheelset and will be riding them over the next 4 weeks in preparation of IM 70.3 Santa Cruz. I live in the Bay Area, so I should be able to ride under similar conditions to Santa Cruz. I'm moderately proficient at taking crosswinds but have not had to deal with them in a race. 80mm is deep for a front wheel with crosswinds, but I understand the toroidal shape of HED's wheels are helpful under crosswind conditions. So I'm curious if other riders with these rims feel they are manageable in crosswinds for MOP and moderately experienced rider.
