Why EZDisc and not Disc Wheel

Do not go for a cheap disc wheel as they have cheap hubs we tested this at Silverstone Sports Engineering Hub on the "rolling resistance machine" you are far better of using a good quality wheel and adding an EZDisc. We tested against the top end disc wheels on the market and ours performed the same . You also do not have to buy two wheels and you can take the EZDisc off on race day if needed and not have to carry two wheels abroad. Apart from saving £1,000s it also is a lot more robust and not prone to damage so can be used in all weather and training rides. We have over 6,000 EZDisc customers and its being used buy over 40 professionals one of the Pro"s is James Teagle who would not use our EZDisc unless it compared to his Disc wheel which it did. Our aero data:https://ezgains.co.uk/pages/the-science everything else is opinions all the hard data and facts are free for anyone to seen. Thanks 🏆

EZDisc Trouble Shooting

Follow picture instruction for fitting.

Disc Warping:

Cable ties should be wrapped around one spoke and two holes with a minimum of 5 cable ties, this should be hand tightened and not pulled so tight it indents the disc. The main cause of warping is the binding screws are to tight, please select another size provided, in most cases we proved you with the correct size screw for you wheel, if you find its still not work try using a mix of the size screw failing that contact EZGains for advise.

Screws coming loose:

The binding screw covers are provided and advise to use these, only hand tight the screws, make sure you haven't caught the EZDisc between the screws. If the cable ties are to loose this will cause movement on the EZDisc and lead to screws possibly coming loose and cable ties snapping.

  • Please ensure you centralize the EZDisc.
  • The valve does not need to be exactly in the middle.
  • You can just use a track pump or CO2.
  • Derailleur rubbing on EZDisc 9/10 times the derailleur is bent or you have to micro adjust your Derailleur.
  • 12 Cassette speed we have found that on a rare occasion you have to use a 0.5mm cassette spacer on the inside.

Will EZDisc Rim Brake work on Disc Brake

Hi Todd, both disc and rim brake versions are domed differently due to the design of the spoke positions. We have had occasions where people have managed to get the rim brake covers to fit the disc brake wheels too, but it's very rare that this works without issues. A rim brake will never work on a disc brake. We recommend that you purchase a cover for the wheel you are most likely to use it on.

We may well be able to offer you a trade in so please contact us +447877327476 what app.

What bikes/ bike wheels are the disc covers compatible with?

The disc covers are compatible with the majority of road and time trial recumbent handcycle single speed track bikes with 406 650 – 700c wheels.

Truths and Facts

1) 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.


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

3) In windy conditions an EZ Disc does not feel any worse to control then a deep section wheel. In fact the reports I have had back, again say this has added to the stability of the bike @that.tri.guy and many others have reported this.

4) The difference between a disc wheel and an EZ Disc is a matter of seconds over 40k.....But using a cheap disc wheel with a cheap hub, will be slower then using an EZ Disc with a wheel and decent hub.

5) Very EZ to install and very robust unlike a disc wheel.

6) EZ Discs are legal for Cycling Time Trials and Triathlon.

 The facts are there is no other ISO accredited "I brought this up as Ironman regulations quote about equipment being ISO accredited or similar manufactures safety standard" x 3 Aero tested Patent Protected 5 year guarantee safety tested and Ironman approved disc wheel covers on the market, if your saving £1,000s why not get the best in the cost effective solutions available, the last thing you want is to stack it on your bike.

IRONMAN/ETU/ITU/RULES EZ Disc

Used in ETU/ITU/CTT non-drafting races

Global Operation's, Rules and Special Projects. Confirmed the EZ Disc is allowed.

Disc Wheel Covers

Here is the ruling confirmation as written in the IRONMAN rulebook:

"tion 5.02 EQUIPMENT
(a) Wheels
(i) The front wheel must be of spoke construction (aero rim with spokes is
permitted) and must not be solid; (DSQ)
(ii) The rear wheel may be either spoke or solid construction (disc wheel). Wheel
covers are permitted only on the rear wheel. For reasons of safety, solid (disc)
rear wheels are prohibited at the IRONMAN World Championship; (D

"Hi James,

 

Thank you for your question.

 

Wheel covers are allowed".

IRONMAN/ETU/ITU RULES Chainring Guard & Derailleur Guard

Just to confirm that, since the new rules have come into force we have had no issues with
the Chainring Guard 3-5
Watts saving and Front derailleur guard 2-5.8 Watts saving and we have not received any
negative feedback from any athletes competing and no issues with the officials across Ironman/ITU/ETU races.

We have since been in talks with a head
official at Ironman and he does not have an issue with the chainring guard
after talking with World of Triathlon, the front derailleur guard will have to
go to committee and the worst case scenario is they ask for a 3 year phase out
period, as the products we offer follow ISO accreditations and have already
been on the market prior to new rules and are deemed as a safe product and
commercially available from a reputable company.

The discussion I had with the head official, lead me to
believe they are trying to eradicate unsafe home-made products and unsafe
cheaply made products by non ISO accredited companies please see…

 (g) All
aspects of the bicycle must be safe to the rider and to other athletes in the
Race. Minimum safety standards include, but are not limited to, meeting or
exceeding the standards of a reputable safety standards organization (such as
CPSC, ISO, or other equally reputable safety standards organizations)

"World
Triathlon (formerly ITU) writes rules regarding equipment legality and
therefore is the only entity who can declare equipment legal for use in all
sanctioned triathlons. The IRONMAN Competition rules are based on the World
Triathlon rules and I have always deferred to World Triathlon for equipment
legality questions when uncertain about the legality of equipment. Because
equipment is evolving quickly and there is currently no list of equipment that
is legal for use in triathlon, game-day decisions on equipment used in
triathlon events, including IRONMAN events, may need to be made by the event’s
Head Referee. If any athlete questions the decision of an IRONMAN Head Referee,
they can call me to provide background and I can chime in with input/feedback.
However, in the case that the Head Referee is not able to get an answer from
World Triathlon before the event start, the ultimate decision is theirs to
make. In my opinion, based in part with a conversation I had with World
Triathlon (who, while not providing formal approval, did show concern for this
piece of equipment during the conversation) – I see no issue with the EZ Gains
chainring guard and consider it to fall within current rules. However, I did
not hear comments from World Triathlon regarding the EZ Gains front derailleur
cover. Therefore, because my opinion on this equipment is uncertain, I
personally feel that some referees MAY feel that the front derailleur cover is
in violation of the fairing rule. Therefore, I doubt that you will have an
issue with the front chainring cover, but you MAY get questioned about the
front derailleur cover. If you are questioned about the front chainring cover,
feel free to call me I will share my opinion with the event’s Head Referee,
that it is legal, and encourage them to speak to World Triathlon if they still
have concerns. If you are questioned about the front derailleur cover, give me
a call and I will encourage the event’s Head Referee to ask World Triathlon
whether or not they deem it legal. Give me a ring if you want and have a great
race”.

Measure my rim depth

Please measure the full depth of the rim, this is from the top to the bottom excluding the tyre, towards the centre of the wheel were it meets the spokes, includes the brake track.

Measure the rim not including the tyre this is the top to the spoke.

Wheel size 700c or 650b/c

I just need to find out if your rear wheel is a 650 or a 700 as there are two different wheel sizes made for road bikes. A 650 is 550 mm in diameter, and a 700 is 622mm in diameter. Could you measure across your wheel, not including the tyre, and give is that diameter. The 650b/c is mainly for extra small bikes like the Canyon Speedmax and any bike larger then this are 700c. Thanks

What's the difference between the EZDisc and EZDisc SL?

This product has been wind tunnel tested at (Silverstone Sports Engineering Hub) and is as fast as a top end disc wheel. The EZDisc has all the aero benefits of the EZDisc SL its just 1/3 heavier on average around 200g. - please see science page

What happens if the disc does not fit or I am not satisfied?

Please contact us, we'll help.

Would I need to take the disc cover off?

Some people would suggest to remove a disc wheel or disc covers in windy conditions, however the wind actually increases the effect of the disc and therefore your speed. So we would say, never take it off and practice in the wind.

In windy conditions an EZ Disc does not feel any worse to control then a deep section wheel. In fact the reports I have had back, again say this has added to the stability of the bike @that.tri.guy and many others have reported this.

What is in the pack?

Everything you need to set up your EZDisc:

– Disc Covers
– Binding screws
– Cable ties
– Electrical tape
– Valve covers

Why do I need rim tape?

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.
Simply put a pencil line around the disc on the wheel and overlap your rim tape (electrical tape) on this line.

Please look at instructions

Should I use tape around the edge of the disc cover?

This is not strictly needed but is believed may give you an extra marginal gain.

You can use the rim tape around the wheel to protect it, or you can use the electric tape and use the rim tape supplied for the outside.

An easy way to apply the rim tape or electrical tape is place the EZ Cover on the wheel in a central position and draw round this with a pencil and then overlap this line with the tape or rim tape by about 3-5mm to protect the wheel.

Should I use tape dots on the binding screws?

Again, this is not strictly needed but is believed may give you an extra marginal gain, but can help hold your screws in place - please look at fitting instructions.
