Hi,
Have anyone of you tried this little air spoiler ?
www.slipstreamz.com

and if so, what do you think of it ?



//P

It appears from the text that these are to improve aerodynamics. The potential improvement is very small at best.

I do think their Slip product may be useful to reduce wind noice. However,I don't think using an mp3 player on the bike is a good idea. Just my opinion.

I always like trying new things and this is an interesting idea.

A spoiler usually helps increase down force to improve traction. Spoilers, from my understanding, increase drag and so it's a fine balance. (speaking purely from cars).

How would widening your face profile with spoilers that deflect the air to the sides improve ones riding? I didn't get the full concept from their website.

Hi,
As I understand it the Slipstreamz is not about improve ones aerodynamics but to reduce the noice from the air passing by once ears.

Simply put it, you will have a quiter ride when wearing the slipstreamz.

I've seen the term "spoiler" used for any device that modifies aerodynamics to create a benefit, though it may be an incorrect usage. Smoothing the airflow around an oddly shaped object (like an ear) will likely decrease drag, though I can't imagine doing that having a practical effect for most cyclists. I would be interested in lowering wind noise, though.

I could care less about the aerodynamics as far as drag and speed are concerned, but if it quiets down the wind noise I'm there.

I would love to hear from someone that have used them on the road.
How less of a road noice is there with these installed?

Plz, can someone buy a pair and do some field tests :)

$6.50 shipped I will be first Guinny Pig. I only purchased for lower wind noise.If it cuts wind noise it will be great. If not I will send back for refund and only be out $2 shipping.Noise test coming soon.

I have a set....they do reduce the wind noise and make for a more enjoyable ride. A bit easier to hear cars as well. I find them especially useful in the winter to keep the cold air off....

I've just ordered a set too. I'll check back after I get them installed and tested.
