Are you considering making a $1000 purchase in a new set of race wheels so that you can go faster during your next road race, TT, or triathlon?  Are you uncertain about which wheel is fastest?
BikeTechReview.com would like to help you identify the fastest wheel available by providing unbiased, independently acquired wind tunnel data.  Our objective measurement process was quite simple: we acquired the wheels, then we tested them in the Texas A&M wind tunnel:

 



"But going fast isn't just about aerodynamics!" you say?

 

According to BikeTechReview.com's Kraig Willett (in his widely available article "Bicycle Wheel Performance" which originally published in 2002):


"when evaluating wheel performance, wheel aerodynamics are the
most important, distantly followed by wheel mass. Wheel inertia
effects in all cases are so small that they are arguably insignificant."


A small investment of $14.95 (that's 1.5% of the price of the wheels you are considering purchasing - you tip the waiter at your local restaurant more), gets you speed improving wind tunnel data for the following wheels:


Ritchey (32 spoke baseline wheel)
Fir SRG30
Bontrager Race Lite
Mavic Carbone
Specialized Tri-spoke (HED3)
Zipp 404
Zipp 950 disc


If you BUY NOW, using the special link below we'll also give you the following wind tunnel reports as a bonus:


The Importance of Tire Selection
Aero Wheel Covers (do they work?)
Fork/wheel combinations (Bontrager/HED3 wheels and Reynolds/Pinarello Forks)

As a final bonus we'll throw in Empirical Performance Ratings (estimates of wind tunnel performance, not real wind tunnel data) for nearly 100 different wheels.


BUY NOW, joining the hundreds of people that have previously trusted BikeTechReview.com (a list which includes National Champions, two elite World Champions and 2 of the top 5 podium finishers of the 2007 Tour de France) and take the first step towards making yourself faster in your next event.
