I have used some flo60's for a few seasons of road racing and crits. I dont have a lot of experience with other wheels and perhaps im asking the wrong crowd. Despite a few wins on occasion and the lovely noise (except freewheeling where its stupid loud), am i missing out with slightly less aero wheels but a lot lighter? yes i know, wrong crowd again.
I have noticed a few things. I tend to notice the wind a bit on the roadie. On a few occasions, where on a sprint finish and im gassed, if im seated trying to sprint (no energy left to stand), i get real twitchy/shakey in the front end. Now obviously that may not be a wheel thing, rather a too much weight over the front wheel or something.
More so, however, they are over 2100g,s with skewers. Thats a heavy wheelset. Its probably in my head, but coming out of a corner, accelerating, they feel like they take a bit to get going. Maybe, again, thats just me.
I have no problems with the flo60's, but if im not really interested in aero as number 1 priority in road racing on a tarmac, am i being silly thinking im better served selling them, buying some zonda's or something and pocketing the change?
