I've got bladed Sapim CX-rays but the blading is so small you have to squint to see it.
I don't notice it at all. Now the blade on my Ritcheys . . . you betcha.

I think that's what Ms. Hund has.
But she's petite so maybe the wind blows her around more.

It's quite possible that I've just been riding in more windy conditions lately, now that I think about it. Also, I'm on a bike that's several pounds lighter than my Bianchi. MY weight hasn't changed much, so that can't be part of the equation.
I'm glad to hear that the Sapims might not be an issue after all. Good, I can check that off my Mystery List.

Thanks, everyone for the advice. I live in a place with lots of wind and find that bladed spokes are bad for me in gusty crosswinds, so they're out of the running for me. When peddling in 20 mi plus cross winds I can really feel them push me around. I have better luck with the round spokes on my present Easton rims.
I'll explore all the options you've suggested. Mahalo (thanks in Hawaiian!)

I have cut myself on some bladed Ritchey spokes trying to mount a difficult tire. They don't mess around. Originally Posted by SadieKate

Wheels
Ahhh Velocity does indeed have some great color choices! I too, have a ti bike that I tend to give some color. For the past three years, I have used orange... so this year I built a set of wheels with the Aerohead rims in orange... definitely gives the bike some pizazz HA!]
