I've always been attracted by the good looks of deep-section carbon wheels. I know some TCC people are using them to advantage in race events.
Just how big is the aerodynamic advantage and what would be the ideal rim depth for long fast runs on a flattish stage? Should I be looking at a 50mm rim?
Also what are the downsides - if any besides their weight - of such wheels?
Finally, can anybody recommend a budget-friendly (i.e. under 10-man ) pair (preferably with alu rims ) based on actual experience ?
