beaten to death question about wheels
I am heading to arizona for a little vacation and bringing my bike with me.
While out there I am going to be doing a lot of riding and will race in my first road race (everything has been crits so far).
The plan has been to just go out there with my new heavy PT wheel.
Looking more into this road race I see its got over 5000+ ft of climbing in 62 miles including a 7 mile climb of 1700ft. So now I am thinking maybe I should leave the PT wheel at home and just bring my lighter reynolds wheel instead.
However I am not really sure the weight difference would even matter at this point in my racing. In the few rides I have done with the new PT wheel it has felt slower then my race alta wheel but I am not expert.
I just got the power meter so I am still learning how to use it. Not having it for the week out there wouldnt be such a big deal for that reason but at the same time it would be a great chance to really get familiar with it.
I dont have room to bring and extra wheel unfortunately.
thoughts?
