No, certainly not super fast. Probably a little faster than box rims. We are so old now that we probably don't have too many more years of fast riding left, so a big investment doesn't make good sense. Not much amortization time. That was my interest in the aerobars. I have them and know how to use them, and they're certainly the cheapest way to go faster on the flat, right now.

Edit: I go through rims about 1 a year because of riding conditions here. I could build up my next wheel with CX Ray Sapim spokes. Over DT Competition that should build up for about $50 or so extra/wheel. Thoughts?
