Yeah, I'll probably try that - changing just the front wheel and the brake pads isn't too much work, so I'll give it a go. Thanks.
I have a picture of a P/1 race of a guy that was super active in the race with an 808 front and a non-aero rear. I thought he flatted or something but ppl here said they know him, that's how he races. He also has a crazy low bar position.
I don't change pads between carbon and aluminum. I haven't trained much outside for the past two years but in 2010-11 I rode a lot outdoors on alum rims and raced on carbons, zero brake pad swaps, zero problems. Wore through 2+ sets of pads (KoolStop black). Currently on Koolstop salmon/black pads but I rarely train outside anymore so I don't brake on alum rims much.
