Anyone successfully used the Cheung aero testing method?
I can’t think of any roads nearby me that are good for testing.
Curious to hear from others who can tell me their success ... to make me interested in driving a bit to get a proper course I can test on.
Also, how low did you get your CdA?!
You can get really good results testing by yourself. All you need is a power meter and you should a speed sensor rather than GPS.
There is hardware and software products out there that make it a bit easier. The increase accuracy / $ is up for debate. You will get varying opinions on this
I can take my laptop, throw the bike in the car, drive to get location within 30minutes with helmets, tools.....I want to test and can results within minutes of each run with a laptop, within seconds with tools.
I would learn to use the software, look at some of the protocols, practice where you are and when you're comfortable go out and do the full on tests. The more knowledge you have on how the whole systems works, the less restricted you are on test venues.
The thread you were referred to is the best place to start
