What wheel depth do you use? 🤔

just found this channel and i love how the presenters have a really natural, straightforward presentation style and get right to the point with actual expert knowledge - so refreshing!

I bought some "crazy" 88mm deep wheels, and as I'm 95kg, even strong gusts don't cause an issue.

6ft 180 and strong...I rock 88mm allllll the time usually with a tri spoke

I love 60mm rims. I race in short and olympic distance draft-legal triathlon races.

That's the video I've always been waiting for, and I just didn't know that 😅 Thanks!

Zip 808 front and rear for me

1:44 What a great observation! I didn't realize that!

This week I got overtaken buy a guy on training wheels 😆, and his front wheel was on backwards (saw after the race) (his qr was on the wrong side and his tire was orating the wrong way). A 77 and a disc (me) wheel can only do so much for you haha.

The HED 180 is the greatest wheel ever made...with a tri spoke front :)

Rocking 88mm that I run for everything. Full disc rear would be nice but hard to justify the investment, I’m 88KG’s so not allot of issue controlling even in strong winds.

TT's or if your job is to ride on the front all day, deep section. For everything else, shallow section.

Engineer here with some experience in aerodynamics. I’d like to see some actual data on the aero advantage of deeper wheels. I suspect the improvement in drag is very marginal and a tiny fraction of the aero drag of the rider.

I run 60mm wheels on all my bikes all the time. I’m 57kg and crosswind isn’t a problem

back in late april i yolo n bought 77/86mm wheelset for my roadbike(tri mods)😂 bike came with 25/25 alu. now my aluminium tcr looks more potent 😍🚴‍♂️💨(it got featured on gcn bikevault ep284). did std distance DU race, felt easier to hold speed. looking forward to pto race in aug🙏

45 at the front and 65 on the rear. I live in a rather windy area so this is good enough for me and my chance of survival 😂😅

Disc wheel cover from EZ gains placed over my 50mm wheels - cheaper (£120) and lighter than a disc wheel and about 98% of the aero gains

So the weight difference between the dt swiss arc 1100 50mm and the disc is less than 300g, maybe you ride with one less waterbottle and use the aidstation?

I sill use the rims the bike came with. My question I contemplating now is not wheel depth but tire width. I'm think of going to a larger width from a 25 mm. I wonder if that makes a difference.

So if you’ve got deep section wheels and a disc wheel (assuming same brand on wheels and same size cassette), would you need to adjust the gears if swapping between them? I ask, because I’m looking at getting a Zipp Super 9, to compliment my Zipp 808’s, and would be running the same gear ratios and cassette, and worried about our wonderful UK weather being so changeable/swapping out wheels at short notice.

got the AEOX Titan 100mm + Roval321 disc. fucking yolo speeeeedz 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

7:45 I'm never sure whether to love that HED wheel for the cheeky way they've complied with the Kona rules, or to hate it because it looks ugly. ❤🤮

I bought 80mm wheelset just to try it out and yes the cross wind can get little scary but nothing that I cant control I would recommend anybody to try it out and won't regret it cause you become super fast and look cool at the same.
