Has anyone had any experience with Aerospoke wheels. I am looking at a pair for track racing. I do sprints, etc. Any info would be appreciated

Sprints, or any racing where you're speeding up and slowing down, is probably not the best place to use Aerospokes. They are a bit heavier than other "performance" wheels. The come into their own in high, sustained speed runs, like time trials and 24 hour distance records (they hold the current record) Those who know say that having minimal rotational weight is very important to acceleration, and these wheels don't cut it. Now, if supurb strength is important to you.....
