So these wheels...

This is my first set of remotely aero wheels.

The old wheels were 23 mm wide x 25 mm deep and V shaped. These are 25 mm wide x 35 mm deep U shaped with bladed spokes and the width of the tire and rim match almost exactly

That much change is huge, easily enough for a 1 MPH gain in average speed over 30 miles on a flat course.

It's a little mind blowing actually. I was all weight weenie all the time but now its clear that aero is really a thing.
