The truth is gravel wheels can be aerodynamic. We proved this in 2020. However, the common belief is still that this is not true. After reading a popular article about aerodynamics and gravel cycling I was surprised to find the section discussing wheels was false. Today on FASTER I discuss why and how gravel wheel can be aerodynamic and why I believe this is not an accepted fact. Listen to this episode to gain an advantage over those who have subscribed to the aero gravel concept.
