Greetings
Besides looking bada$$.... I have the following questions about say 50 mm carbon clincher wheels.
1. Are internal nipples worth it relative aero gains versus the extra effort to true a wheel?
2. Help me quantify speed increase over my Boyd Vitesse wheelset. 28 mm Al clinchers. Typical effort (not all out) sees low 20s mph flattish road little wind.
3. When looking at aero wheel data, its the air speed versus ground speed? IOW, a rider will see more gains riding into head wind. Where I live, it is seldom calm with winds often 10-15-20 mph.
Thanks
Chris
