Parallel?

I did that once so decided to use the non-aero front I usually pack. Pulled out the wheel bag with my training clincher in it. It wasn't in there - it was my 60mm front. So I raced the 75mm because I don't notice much difference between the wide but sort of V shaped 60 and the wide U shaped 75 in wind.
