Roadie

2014 Trek Madone 4 series. Actually selling this to fund Di2 and carbon wheels for the CX bike, as I mostly ride gravel roads around my place these days.

I apologize for breaking several rules, but it was the only pic I had.

My friend races triathlons with 20km+ cycle sections. He's getting new carbon wheels, but isn't sure if he should go 60mm deep for both or 80 rear 60 front. He doesn't have a tt bike but he's got an aero road bike (BH) with an aero seatpost and aero bars.

Cheers from both of us!

Depends on his rodding ability and the terrain... most tri courses are fairly flat so I'd recommend going as deep as he can control. I wouldn't hesitate to run 80/80 myself but being a big guy, I'm mostly unbothered by cross winds.

He's around 125lbs. He's fast though!

I'd still probably recommend 60/80 then... the rear wheel doesn't push much, it's mostly the front you want up watch.

Sorry ... I'm not familiar with the point of a deeper dish wheel. What's the point? Wind drag when there isn't a cross wind? Or is it a weight or stiffness maximization deal? Thanks.

More aerodynamic, but the deeper dish counter acts in side winds and weighs more

It doesn't weigh more... it will literally move you across the road if you're not ready for it and able to handle the push. It catches the wind and acts like a sail...

So they will give you better straight line performance. Though as mentioned they catch the wind. I would say 80/60 combo

It's actually 60/88. Too big?

No... honestly, anything short of a disc on the back isn't going to be too tough to handle. It's the front wheel that tends to give people issues.
