koukie Posted March 7, 2014 Share I have two sets of wheels for my road bike, 50mm deep sections and the standard giant wheels that came with the bike. Obviously I want to use the deep sections but considering the wind for Sunday will it be a stupid idea? I weigh around 63kg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madlight Posted March 7, 2014 Share Call me a poefter, but I'm using my flat wheels on Sunday. I hate the gusts down chappies with deep sections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidekick Racer Posted March 7, 2014 Share Rear 50, front giant.... If they the same Giant wheels my friend has though then I wouldn't even consider not riding the 50s since you have them available... Ride it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oracle BoB Posted March 7, 2014 Share I have a set of aero rims (30mm) and also trying to decide whether to use them or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Zone Posted March 7, 2014 Share If you are in the C group then rather ride the shallow section wheels, any other group and you will be fine with deep sections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cippo Posted March 7, 2014 Share Wind is looking like 20kph with gusts of 40kph. I would go with normal rims. The rear 50 with a normal front wheel is another option. Those SE gusts are gonna shake a front wheel if its a 50mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FootballingCyclist Posted March 7, 2014 Share Good Luck with those Deep sections, unless you have the NSRI on Standby who can pick you outa the Ocean next to Chappies or down Llandudno stretch into Camps Bay, ride your flat wheels bru!! And weighing 63kgs wont help you either... All the best either way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
