Ok go to http://www.hedcycling.com/aerodynamics_technology
and pull up the stinger 9 and the stinger disc on the bottom of the page. It appears as though the stinger 9 is way less drag up until 15 deg of yaw. Does this cause a little bit of confusion for anyone else? I can’t seem to pull up the yaw calculator on the new site to make educated guesses, but it seems a little out there that the stinger 9 is that fast compared to a disc with what I assume is a stinger 9 rim w/ a glorified carbon wheel cover. Overall the new hed site looks incredible though, much kudos to them.
After some more button clicking it looks like the jet disc is faster than the stinger disc?
The aero charts seem a little screwy. The Stinger 9 has a crazy profile, the Zipp disc never gets down to anywhere near zero, the aero profiles on the info pages for all 3 discs are the same (vs. different on the aero pages).
Why would the Stinger disc not be as fast or faster than a Jet disc, considering there is more freedom to shape it b/c of no need to worry about the braking surface?
Is there any aerodynamic difference between the STD Jet 90 and the C2 Jet 90?
