Installed my new Corima 4-spoke on the rear of my bike, spun her up to 30kph and timed how long to stop (no load) = 1:52
Put my old Rolf Vector Comp back on, spun it up to 30kph and timed it again = 1:10
Repeated each a few times with some variation +/-3 seconds.
So, what do I conclude? The bearings in the Corima are better? The aerodynamics are better? The Corima has more inertia (not likely - feels like it weighs about the same and distribution of mass seems more central but I could be wrong).
All I know is that when I took the new baby for a ride, she felt FAST. I seemed to leap up to speed and maintain high speeds on the flats much easier.
Conclusion: My new Corimas rock! Bring on IM Germany - I'm ready to go!
