Aero Tech Talk, Episode #5

In the fifth episode of our Tech Talk series, AeroLab co-founders Kelly Zwarych & Chris Morton discuss mistakes and oversights that can produce inaccurate data while aero-testing.

Our recommendations boil down to…

• ensuring the sensor is properly aligned and not obstructed by cables, etc;
• allowing the rider is properly warm-up (warmed up) and is comfortable with the equipment being used in the test;
• avoiding the application of brakes during the active segments of an aero-test unless absolutely necessary in order to ensure rider safety;
• instructions provided by the head unit must be adhered to;
• a dedicated wheel speed sensor should be used whenever possible for maximum accuracy;
• only one variable should be tested at a time; making multiple simultaneous changes to a rider’s equipment or position makes it much more difficult to find an optimal setup.
