AdrianDJ Posted March 7, 2014 Share Even if the wind wasnt blowing, unless you going to win the race, those wheels aint gonna make a difference. except for the bling factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummibear Posted March 7, 2014 Share Even if the wind wasnt blowing, unless you going to win the race, those wheels aint gonna make a difference. except for the bling factor I think the OP is worried about the wind that's been predicted for Sunday........50km/h > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted March 7, 2014 Share It's the strong gusts in Cape Town that is so ferociousPlain wind with low gusts are fine to manage with 50mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoLefty!! 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. Deep sections will be interesting.... I'd opt for standard wheels but thats just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryvdM Posted March 7, 2014 Share You guys are making me nervous. Like jcza, I packed my bike on Sunday, with 50mm wheels. I am 95kg. Will I be ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCA12 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Windguru reckons. South easter of 34 kph at 11 with 40 kph gusts. Should be a fun race. Ill be on my mtb with slicks so will be a long one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TALUS Posted March 7, 2014 Share Mate, I am 92ish. Climbing is always a pain for us Clydesdales. Some irony though that the racing snakes (at last) has something to rattle their cage. I expect to be a bit more popular than usual on the flats going into the wind. I am taking my deep section ass... Starvin' Marvin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJpak Posted March 7, 2014 Share Mine says.. simon's town is going to be 69kmh. 50mm? So dangerous.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G... Posted March 7, 2014 Share Tell me about it. It's a killer on the hills. I started at 103kgs. Currently 84kgs from cycling. I remember your pain, tough on the climbs but super fast downhill. You will be fine on the hoops, just watch on Chappies decent and Suikerbossie Decent. Oh of course the start line for some reason the wind howls through that piece. andretraut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
