    with regard to wheels, does it make any difference if the rear wheel is not as aero as the front? I cant see how it would make any difference to have a deep / aero profile on the back. What do you think?

    It depends on hoow fast you

    It depends on hoow fast you are riding and how much difference an aerodynamic wheel is really going to make to your performance.  Ask yourself why a lot of track riders use a disc wheel in the back and a deep section spoked wheel in the front.  I know that a spoked wheel in the front handles better than a solid disc but if there was no aero benefit in having a disc rear then surely they would ride a deep section spoked wheel in the back too.
