Disc Wheel Stability
Though it may seem unexpected, research has shown that using a rear disc wheel can actually improve stability in high-wind conditions.

When using a spoked rear wheel, the center of pressure is typically located between the front and rear wheels. The front wheel, being free to rotate, is more exposed to crosswinds, which can result in instability.

However, with a rear disc wheel, the center of pressure shifts further back, closer to the rear of the bike. This change reduces the influence of crosswinds by increasing the distance between the front wheel’s pivot point and the center of pressure.

This effect is comparable to lowering your center of gravity when resisting a push—moving the center of gravity farther from the point of force allows you to withstand greater pressure before losing balance.

In a similar way, with a rear EZ Disc, relocating the center of pressure farther from the front wheel’s axis helps the bike resist stronger crosswinds without becoming unstable.

EZ Disc Rear Wheel 10-15 Watts

One of the first areas riders look to upgrade for aero improvements are their wheels. In time-trial and triathlon racing, many people equip their bikes with a completely covered rear wheel or a full rear disc wheel.

EZGains has also addressed another area of the bike that can slow you down, the chain ring. Just like with your wheels, air can get caught in the open space in your chain ring resulting in drag so they created a simple, cost-efficient carbon fibre cover that slips over most setups.
