Specialized is at it again. Between use of their new-ish wind tunnel for bike development, the aero team continues the aerodynamic equivalent of “will it blend?” with the Win Tunnel. Putting the tunnel to use for educational purposes, Specialized is looking at your spare tube (not your spare tire, for those who aren’t in race shape). Is it faster in your jersey? On your saddle? In a bottle? The results may come as a surprise…
As it turns out, unless you’re using something like a Specialized Keg, it really makes little difference where you put your tube – even if you use a small saddle bag.
While we’re at it, check out the last Win Tunnel where they investigate the benefits of a skin suit. This one makes a bigger difference…
