Wheel Drag, deep section

A very interesting graph here relating to the drag on deep section wheels.

 

This shows how much power one could save with the correct wheels.

Enve 3.4 was the worst of the lot. The Enve 6.7 was the best, but it has a deeper rim at the back than the other wheels. I wonder how Zipp 808s would compare - perhaps Enve knows, but does not want to show?

here is something that includes the 808 from a quick look across the internet.

Zipp is right up there, no doubt.

That dimpled wider FireCrest tech is very good.

Cool! It looks like Zipps are the fastest then, when comparing apples.
