aero disc cover Quote | Reply
Just installed a disc cover from wheelbuilder. I didn't think there should be a gap between the hub and the cover on the non-drive side, the gap is about 5mm. I sent the pictures and they said it won't hurt the aerodynamics. Any thoughts? I have photos just not sure how to post them on here.

Same thing here and I think many others the same. You'd like to think they could tighten up at least 3 mm...lol..

Thanks. It just seems to me it would be more aero if it was flush.

it probably doesn't matter but you could electrical tape the gap if it bugs you philosophically.

Good idea, if the gap does not hurt the aerodynamics it wont bother me.
Thanks
