Hi !
I own a Stinger 9 2019 front, last gen with full black design and carbon hub. On the rear i ride a tubeless disc wheel with GP5000 TL for peace of mind an better CRR, and won't ride Corsa Speed because i don't trust their grip in the rain and their flat protection. If you win 3 seconds on straight lines, but lose them on wet sharp turn, i prefer to ride GP5000.
You can read everywhere that tubular generate an aero penalty against clincher, and that's easy to understand for the same width when you look at the edge of a tubuler vs clincher rim, but nobody say how much : 1w, 3w ??? So does some of you had the opportunity to test in a tunnel if there is an aero penalty with a 22mm tubular on a Stinger 9 (or 808 FC, shape is close) against a 25mm (26-27 real width) clincher or tubeless on a Jet 9+ ? I ride short TT and sometimes short Triathlons in relay with friends, and average betwen 25 and 28 mph depending the profile.
I have searched everywhere, and can not find such a test, or very old post from 2012 with older Hed jet 23mm. I know that tubulars are coming from another decade ;-) but would like to be sure before changing what i think is one of the most aero front wheel ever done. I speak only about aero, not CRR.I ride my Stinger 9 with Continental Podium TT pro ltd tubulars with latex inner tube (pro team edition), so the CRR is really close to a GP5000 (test have been done with the competion pro ltd slick and it was like a GP5000 with butyl tube, the podium is 225gr instead of 285, so should be faster and very close to the GP5000+latex).
Thank for those who will take the time to answer !!
