He didn't write this, but is quoted. Am I reading correctly that as speeds increase from 20mph to 30mph the drag on the wheels barely goes up - even 28 spoke wheels? http://www.zipp.com/_media/pdfs/tech...nary_speed.pdf


Also mentioned is the disruptive sound pressure from solid spoke wheels. I remember David Nayer of Welcome to Nimble some 10 years ago discussing this and how changing the spoke design and fork width would eliminate that. Current TT bikes have a lot of space between forks. We use Nimble Crosswinds still (today) and they are silent at 30mph.
