Areo wheel problem
Hello please can someone help. 3 weeks ago I took delivery of a Specialized Venge Vias, it's been windy almost every day since and with 63 mm aero wheels it's like riding a skateboard on an ice rink! I want to be able to swap the wheels when it's windy but retain the carbon specific brake blocks. Any ideas on a non aero wheel that is still carbon and won't mess up the brakes.
Thanks Guys

Wonder if some of this is down to the tube profiles in your frame? I've been out on 62mm wheels this year many times already with no trouble. Of course I wouldn't go out in a gale /storm but it shouldn't be *that* bad.
There's something to be said for practicing on your equipment in less than ideal conditions, to get used to it come event day or whatever you might be training for.
Oops, my bad. Did not mean to write "tubs", meant "hoops".
sell the 63s and get something you can actually ride on
I use Reynolds 46aeros, wind is no probs and they're ok(ish) in the wet
When checking on carbon wheels look into what pads the wheel manufacturer recommends. Some mfg are specific to mate their pads with their tubs.
don't mate brake pads with your tyres, noit good for either.
Loads of non-aero or less deep carbon wheels out there. Reynolds, Fulcrum are ones that I've seen in magazines in the last few days....and many others.....Wiggle's own brand Cosine do some for £600....
