I will say that I see some locals use their Omniums weekly, and haven't heard any say anything about it.
I assume you mean a wheel that I can run a lower PSI, which will in effect increase resistance. That could work, but violates another one of my requirements, namely the convenience factor. The relative effort it takes to swap a wheel out on a bike derails my focus, and if I'm trying to time my warm ups so that I'm butted right up against start time. So if something goes wrong while I'm changing wheels and fiddling with getting the chain the right tension, and the wheel balanced, I'm a nervous wreck. But I will do an experiment when I get my other track bike out of the shop this weekend, and see what the resistance is like at 115 psi, vs. 150! :-) I'd be bringing that bike anyway, for the non-pursuit/TT events.
