Aero disk cover

[Justin2]

Hi

 

anyone used one of these before ... looks like an interesting alternative to a full Disk wheelhttp://www.wheelbuilder.com/aero-disc-covers.html

I had one.

 

Works great.

Doesn't give you the same "noise" as a full disk, but 90% of the aero benefit.

 

Depends what wheels you put them on too...

I used one in a UCI race with no issues?

 

Would be interest to see where it is listed - maybe I just got lucky

Wheelbuilder when they had a special a year or so ago.

 

At that stage I had 808s and they cut it specifically for my 808 model.

 

Those guys are the business

So did I.

 

But this is SA...

I was referred to Article 1.3.024. (I ended up buying a second hand disk.)

 

Imo it is BS, and there should be some form of compromise for Saffas from the bush in insignificant events.

I have had to tape balsa wood to a tt bar in the past to make a commisaire happy. (It was an older bar and was outside the then newly announced 3:1 ratio.

OP, You decided on going for it or have you had a change of mind?

Am still sitting on the fence with this , am concerned about ordering from US and as for building my own would not know where to get the plastic!

Why the concern? The process is very simple and it's a quick delivery - it took a little under two weeks to get to my door.

[Justin2]

And no issues with customs etc?
