Wheel Choice Question
I am 6-2", 185lbs and can average 18mph for an hour or so. I do a 70 mile ride and can average 17.5mph.
I have a Trek SL 6 Pro with Bontrager Aeolus Pro 3 wheels. Been thinking of upgrading to the 5's or possibly the Aeolus xxx 4. I have had several people tell me that it will make a "big" difference in my riding. Another person told me that it will probably not make any difference, other that look cool. He said unless you are pumping out 300 watts, averaging 23+mph, the aerodynamics of the bike and wheels will not make any difference.
What are your thoughts on upgrading wheels and is there a need if I only average 18mph?
