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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOTawSColHU&t=2s

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.

IRONMAN/ETU/ITU RULES Chainring Guard & Derailleur Guard EZDisc

Just to confirm that, since the new rules have come into force 2024 we have had no issues with:

EZDisc 10-15 Watts saving.
the Chainring Guard 3-5
Watts saving and Front derailleur guard 2-5.8 Watts saving.

We have not received any
negative feedback from any athletes competing and no issues with the officials across Ironman/ITU/ETU/BTF /Word of Triathlon races.

We have since been in talks with a head
official at Ironman and he does not have an issue with the chainring guard and EZDisc.

The front derailleur guard has also been given the clear at Ironman Frankfurt by the head official, and been used by a number of professional athletes at Ironman Races. This has also been the case at other governing bodies at other sanctioned races.

All the above products have been used by professionals and amateur's with NO issues from officials.


EZGains products 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)

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.

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

The 650B is mainly for extra small bikes like the Canyon Speedmax and any bike larger then this are 700c.

The 700c is around 622mm in diameter. "not including the trye and to the edge of the rim to rim.

650B (585mm) being 18mm larger in diameter than 650C (571mm)

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

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

https://ezgains.co.uk/pages/ez-gains-fitting-instructions-for-rimtape-and-binding-screw-covers

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

Please contact us, we'll help.

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.

https://ezgains.co.uk/pages/ez-gains-fitting-instructions-for-rimtape-and-binding-screw-covers

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.

What length binding screws do I need? and what if I have the wrong length?

The binding screws should pinch the disc tight against the wheel, but not pull the disc in.

If you feel you could use a shorter or longer binding screw, please contact me and I will send some out.

What tools are needed to install?

Chain whip and a cassette remover only. If you have a wheel with disc brakes, you will also need to remove the disc calliper which is usually removed using a cassette remover.

Please refer to our detailed Fitting Instructions for each of our products via the top menu.

EZDisc "disc brake on rim brake"

The rim brake version will not work on a disc brake, this is because a disc brake wheel is shaped different due to the brake calliper. There is a small chance the disc brake version will work on some rim brakes.
