Re: Where's the aero bottles ???? (TdF) [roady]
In Reply To:
Mark, when you test bottles have you done it with a pedaling rider? While I know the problems involved with doing so, I do have to wonder--given the bottle's placement between the rider's legs, if the relative difference could change with and w/o a rider?


1. It isn't necessary to test with the rider pedaling, but it might be interesting to test with their legs in different positions (if they aren't actually pedaling, that is).

2. My own field tests (while pedaling, of course) with a low-slung cardboard "bottle" on a P3C demonstrated that it had minimal impact upon aerodynamic drag, at least at/near 0 deg of yaw.
