I couldn't stand waiting until tomorrow for the Aero111 and have been taking the Allround Vonoa for a first ride today.
They really cry for speed - "bring it on". I don't think they can really be ridden slowly.
The difference in weight to the Climbing is mainly in the rims (+125g/rim) which makes them less lively or nervous as riding sensation and more "regular" (to everyone to judge whether that's "good" or "bad").
Steering moment is really very linear and the wheels therefore very predictable and well-natured regarding handling; cornering at a bit over 70kph was fully bombproof.
They also share a similar comfort to the Climbing Vonoa, even though I think the latter have the edge here. Stifness definitely is 'sufficient' on both (also keep in mind the 130kg weight limit).
The internal width of 24mm (opposed to 22mm on the Climbing) to me feels nicer regarding tire footprint and handling. Riding sensation is similar to my Reserve 40|44 - set & forget, bombproof (feeling at least, quality of course needs to stand the test of time).
One observation however: Passing cars or trucks make them catch the wind more easily - here I find my deeper Reynolds BL 65 Pro better (which however really are sensational in terms of steering influences).
Similar to the Climbing the wheels are really silent (when going over cobbles or bad surface), however on a 1.6km 18% climb I had spoke pinging which I did not have on the Climbing and will have to look into this.
Whilst the liveliness make the Climbing feel more special and they possibly have the (slight) edge on steep climbs and out of the saddle-efforts or accelerations, the Allround are really extremely good for more steady pacing (e.g. seated climbing, no matter how steep) - that much that I am also considering to rather take these to the Alpes than the Climbing (and only use those as backup wheels).
On the bike they look as followed:
- but I really totally feel for you! Still a great weight I'd say, hopefully your rear one comes closer to (or even under) spec then!
