If not raining I'd absolutely bring 60mm carbon tubulars. If the forecast holds, I'm not sure what to bring. My training wheels are your standard velocity A23 24/28 on decent hubs, neither light nor aero (not heavy wheels, but not light). I've never actually ridden the carbon tubulars in the rain but I assume braking would be horrible to nonexistent.
I've pretty much decided to bring one only set of wheels, the 60mm carbon tubulars. I don't want to deal with schlepping the bike plus a wheel box. If it rains a lot, I'll avoid braking situations
. I flat before the last race of the weekend, I'll bum a wheel off of somebody. The wheels are maybe not totally ideal for Sunday's race but that's going to be a death march anyway.
