I guess now is a good time to ask about wheels. I have two sets. I have the HED Ardennes that came with my bike, they're 28 mm, have tubes in them, and have no restrictions that I'm aware of in terms of psi. The other set is Enve 4.5 ARs, these have a max of 80 psi, and I'm running them tubeless. I'm using hydraulic disc brakes, so it's a minor pain to switch wheels. Is there any reason I'd want to, other than air pressure?
I'm heavy by roadie standards, apparently that means I'll get more resistance at the same psi and drum size.
I'm not looking to do intervals or sprints, just to maintain my aerobic fitness when I don't want to ride outdoors.
