My initial thoughts EXACTLY...which is why that was my first run haha. Eliminated that "nose cone" and there was a notable (minute of course in the grand scheme of things...I get it...not trying to pass anything over here haha) difference in the numbers. SO, the EVO AERO System has an open front end :-)

interesting, you would think the spinning upper jockey wheel would be turbulent and something you wanted shielded.
But if it was tested it certainly could be better exposed, aero is a fickle mistress.
That's pretty cool. Can you share any of the results or protocol? Like, bike in wind tunnel or only the rear derailleur mounted on something? Zero degree yaw or some yaw sweep? What kind of difference did you see from e.g. the non-aero to the aero version (if that was tested)?
Would be cool to hear, the only data I remember having heard about was some testing Josh Portner talked about a long time ago.
