Tri spoke and deep section wheels

Aspireto · 2011-06-14 17:43:07

Hi, Could someone explain the difference between tri spoke wheels and deep section carbon wheels? For time trialing/triathlon and weighing 90 kgs, which would be most suitable? Thanks,

Depends on your bike, your forks and your budget.

Typically tri-spokes have been over taken by deep section rims in terms of aerodynamics. the tri spoke hasn't been updated since the original model from decades ago.
