Want to take them out on a ride in a couple of days for a TT effort but the wind is strongish with 30mph gusts. It'd be a beautiful tailwind for the effort, though I have to ride out with them into a head and crosswind. What you think? I've only got a handful of rides on them so far, with nothing worse than 12mph winds. Quite liking them actually, read loads of complaints but I'm not finding them twitchy like people were saying. Maybe I need to ride them in stronger winds though to find that out though :x

Yeah, I mean unless you're bombing descents at 50+ I don't see a problem. You'll just have to focus a bit more but overall NBD.
