I love the way they shrug off crosswinds. Perhaps I should start a poll thread to ask which type of wheels folks think I should ride. Nah. I have three pair of 1,270 g low profile aluminum wheels. Not planning to change.
Isn't it quite flat where you live? The best all purpose wheel I can hope for where I live is semi-aero. I have significant hills to the North, a River to the West and coast to the East (Crosswinds...)....but if I lived in the flats I'd definitely go for 50mm+...
