Aaron Rahim at LB says that carbon will ride harsher than standard alloy rims. He suggests getting a 35mm deep wheels, stating that they are far less harsh than their 45mm and 55mm rims and strike a good balance between aero and hill climbing. Does his advice make sense? I have a CAAD12, so ride quality is a consideration.

He also said that bladed spokes offer no real aero benefit over standard spokes, though there is a small weight savings. Any thoughts on this?
