Thanks, That exactly illustrates my point. His analysis strictly looks at how much average power is lost ridinbg at a stady state in a crit. It ignores the fact that a crit is all about holding the wheel in front of you and acceleration out of corners.

Lesson learned, if you want to minimize the effect of something leave out the major factors when doing a computer analysis.

??

The crit model was based on the variations in speed taken from an actual P1/2 criterium power file? There's nothing "steady state" about the analysis, so it certainly does take into account accelerating out of corners; as far as "holding the wheel in front of you", well, if your claim is that a lighter wheel helps with that, then I'm pretty much beyond words.

Lesson learned, ignore the content of an analysis if it's results don't fit with your own narrative....

Spinegry Rev-X's are great wheels and although they get some negative press, are very fast......I road the hell out of mine for 10 years and they are stilling rolling with the new owner.

As for Madfiber, what is old is new again. I would buy Madfibers just because they look cool, but they are probably not any more aero than a set of old Rev-X's.

This place would have a complete fucking meltdown if Starykowitz rode Madfibers with Powercranks

Once again,,,I have told too much
Try it...and see for yourself?

Can you please give me a few examples since you say they are many you will not have any problem with that

Complicated versions of magnetic forces between charged particles in initially perpendicular motion can contradict Newtons third law of motion...since the forces are equal but not opposite.
Newtons third law changed up...magnetic forces can store momentum.

Dude...what they have done is revolutionary...it has greater potential implications in producing the fastest wheelset to date...until they do a disc.

You keep saying that, but I have yet to see you actually elaborate on exactly what it is that they have done that has such remarkable implications.

Look... they don't have anything that will make you faster for what you do right now. if they produce a deep set and/or a disc then it would be time to take a look and experiment.
For what you do...it's really a no-brainer Stinger 90/disc rear. That's your set-up.
I'm rooting for you to have a great year.

I'm also pretty sure some funky things happen in black holes....until they start holding cycling races there, I'm not sure that this is really relevant.

I am a bit afraid that you and Psycholist in a similar handed posting manner do for Madfiber what Frank Day did for powercranks.

And sadly, that is not a compliment.

Crap. Phil Z won the prologue TT at the Tucson Bicycle Classic today on Reynolds RZRs and a non-aero road bike.

Now what do we do???

Wow. One of the best TTers in the US won an early season prologue at a small stage race that basically no one cares about (why do you think he was riding SOLO). Why don't you put the rest of your firecrackers away before you hurt yourself...

Careful or you are going to turn this thread into a Aero OR Training thread.

My favourite post on the thread is this one. Mainly because its of a couple of old timers and implies that because at some point in a race you are ahead of a person who is better than you, it makes you better than they are.

This thread not only defies the laws of physics but also the laws of common sense.

You have THE BEST SET OF ALL-AROUND WHEELS on the market currently.

I'll switch these for a pair of MF's if you want some exposure winning races.
Yes...those are rainbow stripes...earned on the guy behind me.
