I am looking to buy new wheels for my road. I am very light at only 115 pounds and i was wondering if you guys think is the best depth without getting blown across the road also has anyone used elitewheels

Im a similar weight, as a climber i thought it was my duty to get a climbing wheelset. So very much wish i would have gone with something deeper than the enve 2.3s i got. Would have been so much more aero at minimal weight penalty. Id suggest a good mid depth set like enve 3.4s or 4.5 type of thin…

I have ridden multiple expensive wheels with different depths in the past 2 years (enve, roval, mavic, willier, pancho, etc) from 32mm to 65mm and between those sizes i personally felt not that much of a difference from depth alone (in terms of crosswinds) but depending on the manufacturerer the whe…

Pay for shipping I have some Roval 60s.

The Goldi Locks depth is 40–50 mm at present: most wheels are very benign in cross winds and give a good aero advantage. The next step up would be 60ish mm. Personally, I see no reason to go shallower for general riding, racing and anything but something highly specialized like British-style short …

Deeper always looks better though - and surely that is the most important thing? I also agree with @gufo in that depth alone does not dictate how a wheel will react in crosswinds. Rim cross-section and even the spokes play a big part. My campy WTO 60 wheels are great in crosswinds - far better tha…

I am 185cm/72kg and have the elite helix 57, I definitely feel the crosswinds, so if I were you I’d get the least deep ones…

I’m feeling fat at 136.6 lbs, but its not just the depth but the profile of the rim, there’s probably other factors too (spoke pattern etc). I picked up a set of Swisside Hadron 625 (62.5mm) during their kickstarter year’s ago. I found their rounded profile handled better (less likely to be blown …

I’m also interested in this topic. I have a pair of Ultegra C50’s on my Cervelo Soloist but I’d like a super light pair for big climbing days and when it is very windy. So, assuming the OP is trying to minimize being blown around due to size, where can we find actual data on which shallow(er) whee…

Why sacrifice weight for aero? A buddy has these, they are really nice. I’ll likely end up with the CRW CS 6575’s this spring. CRW CS5060.
