Do this just to begin: stick with one wheel and see whether you can get the same estimated CdA over a few laps. If you can, you have a hope to be able to detect a difference between that wheel and another but if you can't replicate the same CdA then your data are too noisy.
Thanks for the help!

I will need to do some research and get myself up to speed on Aerolab.. also it appears Aerolab is not on my most recent version of GC? (nov 5th 2013)

as for the track and wheel testing- i can usually get the track to myself, at least for blocks of effort.. so doing uninterrupted laps at the pole lane is not a problem.
