her handlebar is 32cm and mine is 40 hence the weirdness

I also thought smaller wheels would have lower aero drag for the same width. But greater rolling resistance/drag.
They accelerate faster but decelerate faster too hence to constant need to power through and yes, although the 406 wheels and the same weight as my carbon 622, as the weight is further from the axil, it behave as a better flywheel.
the smaller bike should have less drag as lower and narrower.
I will fit a 46T chainring and a pair of 32-622 GP5000 on my CX bike for next race... that said it will not be like for like as it was 2deg C yesterday and next race should be warmer in April.
