I once got on the rollers to warm up with a pair of Shamals in - there was no point at all, as the wheels felt as aerodynamic as a disk, and the resistance seemed almost nothing at all - like pedalling fresh air!

who cares? they look cool and it's not going to make that much difference Laughing

and look up 10 tests of aero wheels on the net and you will get 10 different results. HED tri spokes usually come out top but i don't like what they do to the handling of the bike.
