I have been racing for a little while, I've used tubulars, I've used clinchers. I've raced on shallower rims and on Hed 3s. I've raced on a disc. Here is what I know from experience and hard data(not my feelings and intuition)... 1. I'm 130 lbs and can handle a Hed 3 on windy days, which is one of the hardest
steering wheels, it just takes practice and the ability to relax in a gust...
