Hi people,
Im afraid its another ironman question.
I have been planning to use my shimano 7850 50mm clincher wheels for the 70.3 uk this weekend but still not 100% whether I should use them or my shimano 7850 24mm.
The wheels are pretty good up the hills but obviously I would be carrying extra weight, and I am already carrying, not very light, tri bars on my trek madone.
Sooooo my question is..... Should I go for the extra speed on the aeros (downhill) or go for the lighter 24mm to easy the weight for the up hills.
Please let me know what you think.

The only reason why I would ride the 24mm is if a gale is blowing but even then you could ride the 24mm front and 50mm rear - they are both clinchers aren't they?

Going with the 50mm's as they do climb pretty well.
Thanks guys just new to 70.3 distance so just making sure I can cut out as many newbie mistakes as poss ;o))
