9 Velo CD55 Wheels. Quite good

Pleasantly suprised with these wheels. They are quite good. Disc wheels are inherent slower because you have a cooling fan to power (the disc) but these were pretty strong and well made. Quite reasonably priced too.

I would go with the 9 Velo, the transition is good and unless you are going at super speeds the 9velo is a better wheel. The thing to note is that vibration losses from the wheels being out of balance are usually more than the delta in aero performance.

How would you compare the aerodynamic performance of the 9 velo with, say the LightBicycle AR56-30mm deep? The LB wheels have a nearly perfect tire/rim transition for 28mm tires, and have more of a NACA profile, so I'm inclined to believe they would outperform these 9 Velo wheels.

Well... they were good enough for 100+ years of the tour de france.

I've heard some 'expert' guy on the internet say that he doesn't trust rim braking on carbon wheels. How do you feel about it?
