not sure this question has an answer, but i'd at least like some input.

i might have an opportunity to get a good deal on some nice wheels, so i'm thinking about picking up a set. i compete in road races, crits, the occasional stage race (which often includes a TT), and triathlons. the wheels would mostly be for tris and TTs, especially because i'm considering a half-ironman and eventually an ironman.

do i look for something really deep - 80-100 mm - and plan to use it only for tris/TTs? or do i look for something not quite as deep - maybe 50mm - that i could also use for the occasional road race? i guess the question really is this: given that i'd be using it mostly for tris/TTs, is something more versatile like 50mm really deep enough to be worth it?

also, how much of a hassle are tubulars if you're only using them for races?

thanks guys.
