Hi Folks :D , I've just got some cash together to get a disc wheel but I'm wondering do they really make that much difference :? ? Will I notice a time difference over a 10/25 mile course. Would I be better off spending the money elsewhere?

    A disc wheel is sitting in turbulent air, so the key is to minimise the turbulence through aero bars, good position, aero front wheel and helmet - once you've ticked those off, then the disc wheel should be top of your list!
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    Don't forget the possible other menatl benefits of a disc, there's nothing better than turnning up to a race with one, makes you feel like you are part of 'the gang' . Also the sound of the wosh wosh can be entertaining on some dc courses.

    If you get a side wind youll notice the difference make sure you have the best front whhel you can afford first after all thats where the wind hits first.
