With my journey to Kona in the next few months I have many hard decisions to make, and will be posting many questions like this, prioritised of course.
As some of you may well know, Hawaii doesnt allow discs, so my problem lies with wheel selection and setup for the race. I currently run a Renn 575 disc and xtreme trispoke front wheel. This is however illegal in Hawaii. I also have Gigantex 45mm deep carbon rims, front and rear - with 20/24 DT aero bladed spokes. They ride nicely with Michelin Pro Race tyres.
My question is, would the trispoke front be more aero than the deep rim. Also factor in style of a trispoke front/deep rimmed rear. I dont think I would have handling issues as Im a strongish cyclist (sub 5hr). Or do I just go the deep rim combo?
pinkboy...anyone willing to lend me HED 3's front/rear? ;-)
In the power never given to me in the name of slowman, king high ruler and Grand Hunky Poo Ba of the blessed land of Slowtwitchia I dub thee "Sir pinkboy the Awsomator" This honor is given to thee for the reason of being not only freakin' awsome but totally sweet. By the use of the color Pink to fly your freak flag and bring smiles to frowny faces. *Mr. Tibbs*
