Ærodynamic
From WikiPedalia
Parts or riding positions intended to reduce air resistance. In most cycling, air resistance is the major limiting factor on speed.
Probably the oldest "ærodynamic" part is the drop handlebar. Many other bicycle parts are available in "æro" versions, including:
- Brake calipers.
- Brake levers.
- Fork crowns and blades.
- Frame tubing.
- Rims (tall, and tapering toward the spoke attachment.)
- Spokes (flat blades or elliptical cross section.)
- Wheels: disc wheels, wheels with deep-profile rims and with very few spokes (as few as 3 in some cases)
