There was a shock silver medal for Great Britain Para-Cycling's team sprint trio of Darren Kenny, Sarah Storey and Jody Cundy on the final day of the track world championships in Los Angeles.
Kenny, Storey and Cundy were beaten into second place by China which ended GB's unbeaten run in the event since 2007.
Despite that setback the GB team still topped the medal chart with eight gold, seven silver and two bronze.
The British pairing of Anthony Kappes and Craig MacLean won the men's tandem event.
Head coach Chris Furber admitted the performance of other teams such as the Chinese had provided a wake-up call ahead of the Paralympic Games in London later this year.
He said: "We knew the standard here was going to be high but it's been tougher than we expected.
"It's been a bit of a wake-up call for some riders and we've got to work really hard between now and the Games to stay in front where we are in front and get in front where we're not.
"We now need to look at the data to see if we can spread ourselves more thinly across more events or whether it's within our best interest to focus on one event.
"I know I would rather go away with one gold medal than two silvers and riders will feel exactly the same."
Furber added: "However, we are in the medal mix and that's really important because if you're in the medal mix here, you're going to be competitive in London. From that point of view (17 medals) we've done very well."
