Does anyone here have first hand experience with deep section wheels over 60mm deep, and how they performed for you in cross winds? I think my only concern is cross winds whiile descending cypress, seymour, and coming back from Whistler... but again, i've never felt uncomfortable bombing downhill at 65-70km+ ... The experience may change though if the wheels were deeper?

I have a great opportunity to pick up a set of enve's but they are 65mm deep and are the older V-shape rims @ 22mm wide (not the newer Ushape 25mm). They will be going on my S2

I'm just wondering for my weight (150lb), and aero S2 frame, plus 65mm deep wheels will i get thrown about on the road?

I can't recall the last time I rode my bike and the wind was so powerful that I got tossed around though? But, the deepest wheel I've ridden were C35's...

Any thoughts?
