it is more aero. what's so hard to believe about that? just don't get stuck in a crosswind.

Actually, after reading some customer feedbacks, seems like it actually helps.

studies have shown that it can produce the effects of a disc wheel up to 90-95%. how about that?

Where are you all riding that any of the above would actually make any sort of practical or quantifiable difference?

unless you are on a track, or in a TT, i hardly believe this fake disc wheel helps any. for every bit of "aero" a rider may see, it's negated by the added weight. mashing around in traffic with a fake disc, while i'll admit still looks kinda cool, is not an arena where ANYONE would notice any benefit.
