Inertia is good for relatively flat TT's.

I keep thinking that I read somewhere that wheelcovers were now illegal in USACycling events.


Anyway, that's a hot disk, but for now I'll just have to go with my PT 808.

What I've heard as well. I believe there was a rumor floating around that they were not legal for USAC but I believe it is either incorrect in the rulebook or in practice.

1J1. Bicycles used in competition must be propelled solely by
the rider's legs and shall have the following characteristics:
(b) There may be no protective shield, fairing, or other
device on any part of the bicycle, which has the effect of
reducing air resistance except that spoke covers may be used
