Wheels may cost £300 + but are the spokes equally tensioned, is the hub overtightened, there are many variables. Break efficiency Brake callipers should not be too close or too far apart, out of saddle riding distorts the wheel which can rub against the blocks when set up too close. Cable routing a) is it aerodynamic? Especially coming out of tri bars. b) Is there excessive cable? Adding drag (in the wind) adding friction (efficiency of the brake) and weight (if your sad).
