Hello,
I'm going to be taking part in this years annual local road race league and aside from getting as fit and as strong as possible, I was thinking of making a few modifications to my Cannondale CAAD8.
We all know that one of the single best modifications you can make to a bike is improved wheels, so that's what I am going to do.
However, I'm getting quite drawn to aero wheels (and these in particular: http://wheelsmith.co.uk/aero-50-clincher).
I know people say aero wheels can hinder your climbing - and I've read about that to death.
But I was wondering if these were a good/bad idea for a road league?
I'm guessing they can't do any harm but then again, you don't see many other rides using aero wheels in the league.
Good and bad, I was after peoples opinions on this and any potential alternative options.
Thank you!
