Um do you mean "why would scrawny riders ride non-flimsy wheels?"



because little people lack the power to make use of deep aero wheels, and when they come out of hiding behind a draft they have to use what little power they have to accelerate.



now, the question is, acceleration vs aero benefit, what would a powerful rider benefit from? Both. But favor aero over light. A paper weight box section always loses to heavier aero.

But unqualified heavy never wins.
