Would train on heavier slower wheels or train on your racing wheels. I have Easton EA70 and EA90 aero wheels.

 

Must I sell the EA70 wheels and go for heavier slower wheel or train on EA70 and keep the EA90 wheels for races or just train using the EA90 Aero wheel.

Train on heavy and race on light

If you train with power, it does not matter. 300 watt is 300 watt of effort, regardless of weight or aerodynamics.

 

If no power meter, do not train with aero wheels - according to Zipp, the aero saving of 30 watt (for example) over shallow rims will mean that riders tend to under train by 30 watt on all their rides

well you could

or you could just fit heavier tubes and tires on ur training wheels.

And fill them with slime if you wish, might end up adding 1/2 kg per wheel ;)
