Keep Your Bike in Riding Shape: Best Bike Tool Kits ● Best Repair Stands ● Best Bike Pumps The Best Bike Covers Performance estimates are based on a number of assumptions.

Chain reaction Cycles and CRC are trading names of Wiggle Ltd (In Administration) registered in the United Kingdom at 1000 Lakeside, Suite 310, Third Floor N E Wing, Portsmouth, Hampshire, PO6 3EN,We are big fans of wheel covers at FLO. Our friends over a wheelbuilder.com make the best option, in our opinion. A wheel cover allows you to cover the spokes of a wheel you already own. They are cut to size based on your rim depth. We recommend wheel covers for many reasons:

Simply put a pencil line around the disc on the wheel and overlap your rim tape (electrical tape) on this line. Truths and FactsA flat disc is generally found in wind-tunnel tests to be worth a saving of about 30-40 seconds over a 25-mile time-trial compared with a standard road wheel. A lenticular disc or a set of wheel-covers can improve a further 5-10 seconds on that, possibly more in a stronger crosswind. It’s especially important to use a cover if you store your bike outside. If you live in the city, you’ve likely seen those poor bikes chained outside battling the elements ( and losing.) Even indoors, a cover reduces the possibility of grease and grime showing up on walls and floors. No matter where you park your bike, whether it be for a few hours or a few months, a cover is a small investment toward the maintenance and care of your favorite ride.

EZ Gains also manufactures the Carbon Aero Chainring Cover. This will save you around 50 seconds (3-5 Watts) over 90k and has been fully aero tested at Silverstone to.Wheelcovers are available in a number of shapes to suit frames with close-fitting, curved chainstays and seatstays, including specific frames like the Planet-X Stealth, Specialized Transition etc. You will go faster using an EZ Disc regardless of speed as long as you cycle over 25kph. If you take longer to cycle a distance an EZ Disc will save more time then someone doing it faster. Wheelcovers are available in Classic, Lightweight, Premium and now new Ultra lay-up. The Lightweight and Premium both offer around a 10% weight saving over the Classic, while the Premium also features a distinctive 'spread-tow' chequerboard carbon finish. The Ultra also has the chequerboard finish but boasts a further 10% weight saving over the Lightweight as well as exclusive Gold or Silver graphics. An Ultra wheelcover for a deep-rim wheel can now add less than 200g to the wheel weight. In time-trial and triathlon racing, many people equip their bikes with an EZDisc or a full rear disc wheel. These wheels stop the air from getting caught in the rear wheel, keeping the drag as low as possible. On windy days, an EZDisc will create a sail effect, pushing the rider along even faster.
