About this deal

It’s especially important to use a cover if you store your bike outside. If you live in the city, you’ve likely seen those poor bikes chained outside battling the elements ( and losing.) Even indoors, a cover reduces the possibility of grease and grime showing up on walls and floors. No matter where you park your bike, whether it be for a few hours or a few months, a cover is a small investment toward the maintenance and care of your favorite ride.

You will go faster using an EZ Disc regardless of speed as long as you cycle over 25kph. If you take longer to cycle a distance an EZ Disc will save more time then someone doing it faster. The disc wheel is still the first choice. At FLO, it’s still the fastest wheel from A to B. If you have the ability for the wheel to have its own tire and cassette, it can be an easy swap once you are versed on how to properly set brakes. However, a wheel cover is a good alternative when circumstances do not allow for purchasing the FLO DISC, like supply chain issues or financial reasons. Rim tape (electrical tape) can be put between where you wheel meets the disc cover. This helps to protect from any marks being formed due to the friction between the wheel and disc cover. Chain reaction Cycles and CRC are trading names of Wiggle Ltd (In Administration) registered in the United Kingdom at 1000 Lakeside, Suite 310, Third Floor N E Wing, Portsmouth, Hampshire, PO6 3EN, Wheelcovers can be made to various depths and dishes to accommodate shallow rims up to 100mm deep rims.

LifeLine Waterproof Single Bike Cover

EZ Disc adds to the structure of the your wheel giving you more stability and adds to your road handling ability.

A flat disc is generally found in wind-tunnel tests to be worth a saving of about 30-40 seconds over a 25-mile time-trial compared with a standard road wheel. A lenticular disc or a set of wheel-covers can improve a further 5-10 seconds on that, possibly more in a stronger crosswind. Vacuum consolidated, high-modulus carbon-fibre reinforced resin construction - just like carbon frames and wheels - for high strength and stiffness. There’s nothing worse than rainwater drumming down on your precious bike and causing it to rust and corrode. Keeping your bike stored safely indoors may not always be an option and sheds and canopies are rarely watertight, so investing in one of our high-quality bicycle covers helps to ensure your bike is protected against the worst. In-Transit Bicycle Covers Every competitor must ensure that their machine is so constructed, equipped and maintained as to be capable of being ridden on the road safely at all times and in all conditions. The riding position shall be set so that the competitor has good forward vision when in a competitive position. In particular but without prejudice to the general principles of this regulation:Simply put a pencil line around the disc on the wheel and overlap your rim tape (electrical tape) on this line. Truths and Facts

Profiled covers, which fit over a regular spoked wheel to convert it into an aerodynamic disc wheel. We’ve carried out extensive wind tunnel testing, with our latest test runs happening on January 31st 2023. This was with independent engineers at Silverstone Sports Engineering Hub. Wheelcovers are available in Classic, Lightweight, Premium and now new Ultra lay-up. The Lightweight and Premium both offer around a 10% weight saving over the Classic, while the Premium also features a distinctive 'spread-tow' chequerboard carbon finish. The Ultra also has the chequerboard finish but boasts a further 10% weight saving over the Lightweight as well as exclusive Gold or Silver graphics. An Ultra wheelcover for a deep-rim wheel can now add less than 200g to the wheel weight.

In-Transit Bicycle Covers

Wheelcovers are available in a number of shapes to suit frames with close-fitting, curved chainstays and seatstays, including specific frames like the Planet-X Stealth, Specialized Transition etc. In time-trial and triathlon racing, many people equip their bikes with an EZDisc or a full rear disc wheel. These wheels stop the air from getting caught in the rear wheel, keeping the drag as low as possible. On windy days, an EZDisc will create a sail effect, pushing the rider along even faster. Bike covers protect bikes from the elements when being stored in areas such as a shed or sheltered, but open canopy area. They are also extremely useful for transport and can protect the bike from damage and protect other items from oil or mud transfer. If you’re moving home or taking your bike abroad, you may want to invest in one of our bicycle covers to help keep it safe. Waterproof Bike Covers All the wind-tunnel tests show that a disc wheel has the lowest drag of all types. Furthermore, as the yaw angle increases (greater relative side-wind), the drag reduces even more and in some cases can become negative - like a sail driving you forwards. For this to happen, the airflow needs to stay attached on the leeward side of the disc. This happens best if the disc is lenticular (lens-shaped) rather than flat, in the same way that an aerofoil works better than a flat aircraft wing.

We are big fans of wheel covers at FLO. Our friends over a wheelbuilder.com make the best option, in our opinion. A wheel cover allows you to cover the spokes of a wheel you already own. They are cut to size based on your rim depth. We recommend wheel covers for many reasons: EZ Gains also manufactures the Carbon Aero Chainring Cover. This will save you around 50 seconds (3-5 Watts) over 90k and has been fully aero tested at Silverstone to.

Individual results may vary. Key assumptions are:-
