Episode notes
Standardize Wheels For Fair Tunnel Tests
- Standardize wheel choice when wind-tunnel testing bikes to isolate frame differences.
- Also test skinsuits and competitor suits to see real rider-package effects.
Rider And Kit Can Trump Frame Gains
- Rider position and skin suit can change tunnel results more than frame differences.
- Testing the Nero suit prototype against a known competitor will reveal practical gains.
Match Bottle Protocol To Published Tests
- Follow established protocols (e.g., Cervélo white paper) for bottle placement in aero tests.
- Use one down-tube bottle cage and none on the seat tube unless protocol dictates otherwise.
