hi-
i'm looking to build up a set of fast 700c road wheels (aero) that i'll use every day in fast group rides. i think i'll use aero bladed spokes like DT aerolights or sapim cx- ray. i can find hubs with 20/24 drilling (front/rear) but where do i find some aero rims that are drilled that way? all i can find are mavic cxp33's with 28 holes. any suggestions for sources, or other rims to recommend? how about non-proprietary paired spoke rims? also, any opinions on bearing drag for different hubsets? i'm looking at some american classic hubs. opinions? how about white industries? thanks for opinions
(trying not to spend $800 for rolf prima vigors)
extra questions: the concept of an aero wheel-is it low spoke counts/bladed spokes that make the difference, or the deep rim-or both? are the rims deep and stiff so you can use less spokes, or is the deep rim important in a slipstream/turbulence decreasing effect? or is the main effect low spoke number?
why is there no data on wheel efficiency? taking into account bearing seal drag, wind efficiency, weight distribution (hub vs rim) etc. has anyone taken different wheels and just "rolled them down an incline" and tabulated that?
