How'd you guess btw?
I don't have first hand experience but I know a few people who use those and they've always complained about how susceptible they are to cross winds. I even saw one guy in front of me wobble much more than me when a really hard gust hit us. I guess the flat spokes act like a wall especially against cross winds.
