FLO Aerodynamics and Bike Wheels (Faster by FLO Podcast #57)
PODCAST TRANSCRIPTION This is “Faster,” a podcast by FLO Cycling. In each episode, we interviewed industry experts to educate you, […]
Read MoreThe Fastest Cycling Wheels Optimize Both Rim Width & Rim Depth
For bike wheels, is deeper always faster? Most people believe that a deeper cycling wheel automatically makes a faster cycling […]
Read MoreMeasuring Wheel Vibration – Speed Is Key
The last time we wrote about vibration we talked about our work with rollers. We were noting how the rollers […]
Read MoreWhy Rolling Resistance Makes You Slower The Faster You Go
A few weeks ago, we showed how rolling resistance and aerodynamics are affected by speed. Today, we look specifically at […]
Read MoreAerodynamics And Rolling Resistance At Different Rider Speeds
I was recently working on a problem to determine the number of watts required to overcome aerodynamic drag and rolling […]
Read MoreVibration & Rollers
When studying rolling resistance while designing the FLO All Sport and Gravel wheel lines, we used rollers as well as […]
Read MoreVibration & The 3-Axis Of Acceleration
Recently, we’ve been measuring vibration in wheels, and building on the complexity of the measurements we are gathering to further […]
Read MoreMeasuring Vibration In Different Locations
Last week we observed the natural frequency of different tires, wheels, weights, and wheel location. For those tests, we used […]
Read MoreNatural Frequency: Different Tires, Wheels, and Rider Weight
Recently, we discussed how you can measure the natural frequency of a wheel and tire combination, and how we proved […]
Read MoreNatural Frequency: Does It Matter In Cycling?
In last week’s article, we discussed measuring impedance break points by looking at vibration, and revealed that we were able […]
Read MoreOptimizing Tire Pressure – Using Vibration To Measure Impedance
Vibration has been on my mind. When designing the All Sport and Gravel wheel lines, we aimed to prove that […]
Read MoreWhy Higher Tire Pressure Feels Faster But Actually Makes You Slower
Feeling Fast. Back in my university days, I owned a 2001 Kia Sephia that had less-than-showroom suspension. While on a […]
