But i was wondering how close you need to be to the next guy's wheel in order for the drafting to really be effective. I know "as close as possible" is the best answer, but how far away is 'too' far away?
Really effective? About 6". You will still get a draft up to 18" -24" away though. Of course this all depends on wind direction. If you aren't comfortable riding so close, 1' will be a good compromise.
