Rolling Resistance versus Aerodynamics for wheels

Triathlon Forum

Which is more important?

Obviously minimizing rolling resistance and minimizing drag is the goal! How do the two interplay?

For example, assuming the data published that indicates clinchers with Michelin Pro Race 2 tires have a better rolling resistance than tubulars.
How much aeroness in a tubular wheel do I need to overcome the added rolling resistance. Is it equal once I get to a 50mm deep rim. Any thoughts?

Why not just use a deep-rimmed clincher wheel and not sacrifice anything at all? 808s are available in clincher, as are Hed3s and other wheels.
