Agreed. There was an MIT study a couple of years ago that a lot of people misunderstood and soon a ton of them were saying that aero wheels are useless. It's simply not true. Over the course of 56 miles, the aerodynamics alone will save you several minutes but you will also gain from your race wheels being lighter than your training wheels. All that said, race wheels are expensive so some think they aren't worth it. I really like my Zipps and I would buy them again.

Cheers.
