Aero Wheel Science

PODCAST TRANSCRIPTION This is “Faster,” a podcast by FLO Cycling. In each episode, we interviewed industry experts to educate you, […]

For bike wheels, is deeper always faster? Most people believe that a deeper cycling wheel automatically makes a faster cycling […]

The last time we wrote about vibration we talked about our work with rollers. We were noting how the rollers […]

A few weeks ago, we showed how rolling resistance and aerodynamics are affected by speed. Today, we look specifically at […]

I was recently working on a problem to determine the number of watts required to overcome aerodynamic drag and rolling […]

When studying rolling resistance while designing the FLO All Sport and Gravel wheel lines, we used rollers as well as […]

Recently, we’ve been measuring vibration in wheels, and building on the complexity of the measurements we are gathering to further […]

Last week we observed the natural frequency of different tires, wheels, weights, and wheel location. For those tests, we used […]

Recently, we discussed how you can measure the natural frequency of a wheel and tire combination, and how we proved […]

In last week’s article, we discussed measuring impedance break points by looking at vibration, and revealed that we were able […]

Vibration has been on my mind. When designing the All Sport and Gravel wheel lines, we aimed to prove that […]

Feeling Fast. Back in my university days, I owned a 2001 Kia Sephia that had less-than-showroom suspension. While on a […]
