See how these trispoke wheels have like, no cross section head on into the wind?
Well, I figure with my commuter which has discs front and back, on the rear wheel, the disc occupies space on the left side and the cassette's on the right side, the wheel's like, practically a disc...

A bit I suppose. But you still get the "egg whisk" effect of your many (32?) spoke wheel, vs. the bladed section of the three spokes on the tri.
For a commuter, I'd take 32 spokes any day of the week. Tri spoke or fancy discs are great if someone else pays for them

I'm thinking it may be time for a mandatory drug test before starting a thread.
