Title: Need advice: 3-Spoke Front + Disc Rear Wheels for Triathlon
Post by: ngthanhphuc on July 16, 2025, 08:03:34 AM

Hi everyone,

I’m considering upgrading my TT bike wheelset for Triathlon (mainly Ironman 70.3). The setup I have in mind is:
   •   Front: 3-spoke carbon
   •   Rear: Full disc wheel

I’m aiming for better aerodynamics, but I’m unsure about real-world performance.

Looking for advice on:
   1.   How does this combo perform in crosswinds and technical courses?
   2.   Is a 3-spoke front a good idea, or would a deep-section rim be safer/more practical?
   3.   Any recommendations for AliExpress brands/shops if I go this route?

Thanks in advance for any input or personal experiences!
