From the 2015 aero test the previous generation Venge was 213 watts with the Zipps and 216 with stock roval wheels (pic has a clx40 front and 60 rear). If you go to the 2015 aero shootout and click on the s-works venge the overall drag is mentioned in the body of the review.

On the latest test they give wind resistance figures (yaw angles) ranging from 20 minus to 20 plus degrees. Speeds were tested at 45 km or 28 mph

So of that 19 watt difference between the TCR and the Propel it would appear at least half would be the wheels, I wonder if the tour magazine test weight the results based on the most common range of yaw angles or whether they equally weight them?

Thanks, it's issue 2/2015 if anyone wants to read it.
Pretty much makes their previous tests I quoted seem worthless, which is what annoys me about these tests. Keep the test protocol the same!!!

How about TCR adv SL vs. Madone 9 or Canyon Aeroad?
