I hear you entirely -- Too much information often confuses more than it helps, but here you go: Our repeatability in the wind tunnel is very good. The wind tunnel test setup is fairly dialed and the balance gives us results with standard deviations around 1/100 of a lb (.01 lbs). This is after the wind speed is corrected to standard atmospheric conditions. Of course, once you pull a product out, get a rider back on the bike, etc, etc. you have introduced several variables. I got data within .03 lbs between different tests of the bottle (not back to back)...back to back tests were within .01 of a lb. These variations are usually more due to the rider slightly shifting in the wind tunnel. However, testing without an athlete would be completely useless.


okay taking 0.03 as the 'accuracy baseline' most of the differences noted were well above that 'noise' level. Speaking loosely here of course :)

thanks for the info ...

BTW, I figure your baseline position Cda is down around 0.225 ... purty slick.
