Yeah, I'm very curious to try the RapidAir - I'm already using the Vittoria Corsa 2.0 and I REALLY like them a lot. The grip is amazing and the cornering is insane (I train a lot fixed and without brakes for racing) - it gives so much confidence. BUT the fact they are made out of cotton, is really a big pain when used tubeless. Maybe it has to do with the sealant I'm using but Vittoria Corsa + Orange Seal + Milkit Valve = I have to check the tyre and inflate before every ride.
+1 to CL50s and RapidAir - that's the combo i have on my R5.

Turbo Cottons are a nice choice as well (I have them on Venge with the CLX64s), if you dont care about tubeless.

When I do intervalls, I do them on the old airport and who nose the place, knows it is always winfy. Which of the two is the most stable in crosswind of about 30-40 km/h? With my 75kg I'm no feather but also no heavyweight. I will ride them tubelet and undecided between Vittoria Corsa or the Specialized rapidair

Thanks
@Vivo3d could you please show me some pics of the venge with the WTOs i have just bought a new venge pro and i have to decide if i keep the rovals cl50 or change them for the WTOs 45.

I love the WTOs but perhaps they have little profile for the venge? I can't find any pic of a venge with wtos 45.

Thank you very much for your help.

Definitely disagree with the assessment of Reynolds not spinning up quickly. I'd say they're the most responsive spoked (and is not bonded carbon) wheels I've ridden. That is specific to some rim tubulars I had - but even heavier clinchers I've owned belie their actual weight. Loads better than pretty much anything from Enve.
My Reynolds AR41X are the fastest coasting wheels I've ever had.

@Robfynn sorry, only got this one at the moment seen that I don't ride it outside during the winter. I think the 45 look fine, but then again I understand what you mean and that is why I might pick up some WTO 60 for the Venge. But the 45 are awesome and I have no issues riding them with strong crosswinds
