We're about to start the Summer race season (the Winter race season is starting to finish!) here in NZ.
I'm going to be doing some short but hilly races every Thursday night and hopefully I can continue racing into the Winter.
I have some race wheels - ex China - 1360gms with pretty light tyres.
They're ok (had to get my mech. to put new spoke in the rear on as I kept breaking them) but just sealed bearings and not aero.
I'm wondering about buying some secondhand carbon, Ceramic bearing and aero wheels that are for sale.
They're 1530gms to heavier.
We're mostly bunch riding and I want to know the worth or otherwise of using aero wheels with other riders.
Surely that negates the effect.
I may be able to break away or more likely be dropped so the aero effect would have some worth.
I guess what I asking too - aero or lightweight? Which one overrides the other for my races?
