Jackmott..I have a question Quote | Reply

My aerojacket can be installed by taping (tuck tape holds really well..lots of residue clean up though) the NDS spokes and cutting the disc to reduce the dish. Using this technique I even get enough clearance to have the axle in the correct place on the horizontal dropout, keeping tire clearance to a minimal. There is one problem, there is a 1/4 inch warp along the disc that follows the spoke pattern, with alternating pattern of high low.

Here is my question......

Is a disc with this warping better aerodynamically than no disc?
