Hi folks:
I'm thinking about getting a Blackwell 100 wheelset and can't find any useful data on its performance.
How do the 100s (and I guess Planet X 101s) compare to say a Hed Stinger 90?
They are a little deeper, but have a different rim shape. What performance differences to expect?
Second, how do 100s compare to a disc?
I think more than 50% of the surface area of a 100mm wheel is already covered by the rim, so how much more performance does a disc actually give you?
Hed's own data shows that a (Hed) disc is about even with a Stinger 90 up to 10 degrees of yaw and then starts to outperform the Stinger significantly at 15 and 20 degrees.
Hed's yaw calculator tells me that 20 degrees of yaw are not that unusual for my riding conditions. (10mph wind occurs all the time in the midwest.)
On a side note--is it reasonable to ride the Hed standard disc when you're 25 pounds above their stated rider weight level of 200 pounds?
Thanks,
Olaf
