Tri Spoke versus deep rims

[bonell]

I currently use a Corima Aero 12 spoke front wheel with tubs during time trial paired with a hed disc wheel at the back, I was just wondering if going for a HED 3 front wheel will actually improve anything. I don't want to spend the money if there isn't much difference from the corima setup. I know that HED3 are good in side winds but is it much different from a 12 spoke wheel? Your views are very much welcome.

Don't actually know if a real difference is to be had, but I always feel faster with the trispoke. It can be a bit handful in strong cross winds, or if big trucks pass. I tend to like the choice of both myself- plus it can be a good excuse "I should have used the aero/trispoke as I would have gone faster".(delete as necessary)
Don't think this has been much help, but in the end if you can afford it then get it.

Save your money and dont get it. Dont underestimate the powers of the Corima wheel
