Description:
Despite all the hype and marketing there is not a lot aerodynamically different between disc wheels but there is a big difference in the level of flex a wheel has which can lead to rotor rub and other issues.
The most notable difference in slight cross tail winds where the wind creates a ‘sail like effect’ where a disc wheel not only doesn’t create much drag but can actually begin to a create a small propulsive effect.
Is A Rear Disc Wheel Right For You?
While the aerodynamics of your front wheel make a much bigger difference there are still smaller gains to be achieved with full disc/zero spoked rear wheel.
A lot of athletes are concerned about the cross wind stability of a rear wheel when compared to the depth of your front wheel it causes very few stability issues except in very extreme wind conditions.
RPG Disc Wheel Features:
Light weight
Minimal lateral flex.
Suitable width so that 25-28mm tyres work with the tyre to achieve optimal tyre to wheel transition to create optimal flow over the wheel with minimal air disturbance.
Please note- Courier costs will be invoiced to you after we find the cheapest quote to deliver the wheel to your door minus the $10 shipping you would have already paid as default upon check out.
