The PX wheels are really flat and narrow compared to the newer wider aero designs. So cross winds really hit them hard. I have a 28mm wide HED 6 (60mm deep) front with curved edges allowing wind to flow over it at greater yaw angles, it feels like a 20mm compared to my PX 82.
That being said on calmer days the PX did get me some great results, they climb quite well and are almost bomb proof.

I think I've used my allowance up for the next 10 yearsBuy another carbon wheel then
You may want to check the tyres are glued on properly if they came like that . The one and only PX tub i have seen from new i managed to roll the tyre off the wheel with my thumb . Ok it wasn't inflated to max pressure but it was inflated , the thin bit of tub tape they had used was doing nothing .
Could have been a one off though and easy to check .

Yes I have heard that up to 75% of the clamping force is due to tyre pressure, and that some triathletes mount them with minimal tape/adhesive for rapid changes/repairs.
I would guess on MTB/CX adhesive is more important.

They seem well glued on to me, with bits of glue coming out onto the tyre almost "messy", did wonder if it was tape or glue? Also got a spare used tub with the wheelset which has a very sticky back to it.
Think they are Vitoria corsa sc ?

Hiya, haven't been on the road with it yet, just been plodding away on the turbo! Job to tell really, but getting used to the position, managed my 20 minute speed test "in position" so can't be bad. The saddle puts a fair bit of pressure on the nether region and I wonder if an Adamo might be the way to go?
I've been really trying to keep the turbo training going with only one or two nights off per week to try and do the bike (and myself) justice. We've even set up a "turbo club" where every Thursday - 6 of us aspiring TTers meet up in a local hall for an hour with all our gear and do a session together for a paltry £7 (total) it's good for the craic and banter plus we learn a different session each week.
I'm determined to give it the beans next year.........
How you doin?
