Smartie Posted November 30, 2019 Share +1 on tyres. These can cause significant drag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porqui Posted November 30, 2019 Share U think mayb better bearings and hub?He also has a mtb I guarantee you will not notice the difference with better hubs or bearings. Just make sure that the bearings that you have are doing what they should be doing.When last did you check and possibly service them.If your pad is touching your disk it will slow you down - you may not hear it. The type of tyre you use will have the biggest affect on resistance.Tyre pressure also has an influence. dasilvarsa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Crispy Posted November 30, 2019 Share It's aerodynamics.Pull your helmet onto your head. It mustn't sit on the top Ashchest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off_da_brakes Posted November 30, 2019 Share Here you go: https://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Disc-Wheel-Cover/ Pretty cost effective and let your inner Picasso go wild in decorating it. Ps. Not a good idea to do this to your front wheel though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It mustn't sit on the top Check the fit of your helmet - looks too small unless you have a manbun if so remove.More important than new hoops or hub - seriously.

Headshot Posted November 30, 2019 Share DT 180 hubs would be a good idea to save weight and go faster. R15k plus from your local smous.And a full aero TT helmet. R20k for 1 sec per km. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
