Zipp 1080: Deep wheel. Slow tires?
Three-spoke.
Old Wheel.
Slow Tires?
How the tire you choose can mean more aerodynamically than the wheel you have, or are considering purchasing.
Stage six of the
2009 Tour of
California in
Solvang saw
Levi Leipheimer
snag victory
from
David Zabriskie
by a scant 8
seconds during
the violent 30
minute effort.
During this time
trial stage,
Leipheimer chose
the time-proven
three spoke for
his front wheel,
while Zabriskie
chose the new
offering from
Zipp: the 1080.
Did Zabriskie’s
wheel choice
lose him the
stage victory?
Or, was it his
front tire
choice that may
have cost him
the top spot on
the podium?

Fork/Wheel Wind Tunnel Test
Results
We've released select fork
test data in the past as
part of a Velonews
re-publish article.
Now, we're releasing
more of the
good stuff we gathered
during that wind tunnel test.
Axial force, side force,
pitching moment, yawing
moment; it's all on the block...
All of this data can be seen
in the
BTR Insider's forum.
