Quick question if I may . . .
Bought my EZ-Sport Ltd last September, put close to 500km on it before the snow set in, and
loved every up and downhill road I went on.
Considering treating myself to a fairing this year. Zipper comes to mind, primarily because
the local shop pushes the brand.
I've read in here over the winter, several mentions that fairings do next to nothing until
the higher speeds are reached.
Given that I'm somewhat beyond my ideal height/weight ratio, and an ex smoker, if I can hit
30kph on a level stretch, the giant grin on my face starts catching air and slows me down.
Obviously I'd be wise to tune the 'engine' before worrying about aerodynamics.
None the less . . .
Is there any sense in a slower rider using a fairing? Speed, at least for me, isn't the name
of the game . . . but I'm not entirely adverse to blowing by the odd DF. Could a fairing
have any postitive effects for someone who averages 18-24 kph, depending on the day?
