The main reason I didn't get aero rims was the cost. Lightweight carbon aero wheels aren't cheap, especially ones from reputable sources that can handle sustained braking. Sometimes sustained braking is needed because of traffic.
Aluminium aero wheels are boat anchors. Something like C24s or Krysuims are a good compromise. Light but still suitable for extended slow downhill.
If I had disc brakes I would be riding 50mm carbon aero wheels.

Guy's name is Chris Frisbie. I do wonder if anyone might be interested in knowing he is being so flippant in regards to the relationship between people's taxes and his well-publicized salary.

This thread is not owned by you. It's open for all to post in and reply. Those who are not following the guidelines are breaking the rules. You are insulting others and degrading them. That is attacking. I really think you should leave this thread please.

I am not attacking anybody. Just defending my self. Please post a quote of me attacking a specific individual.
