Do smaller wheels provide important Aero advantage?
Hello, I know that bigger 700c wheels provide higher gain per spin, effectively increasing gear ratio.
But given the same frame, 26" wheels will sit lower than 700c wheels, thus providing lower air resistance (Or does only the difference in wheel size matter here? Not the overall height?).
Is this difference in air resistance insignificant or can it actually be more important then wheel size at some speeds?
