I A-B-A tested my rear wheel skirts + Kammy and got a 7% improvement @ 70 km/h (44mph) and 8% @ 100 km/h (62mph). I'm willing to bet that you'd see
at least 5% @ 55mph, maybe even 10%.
It took me almost half a year to get used to the new coasting distances at city speeds (up to 60 km/h, 37mph). Almost rear ended someone in the beginning.
People sometimes tell me that my mods don't help in the city, because there isn't enough air drag at 50-60 km/h. I answer by asking how long they can keep up 40 km/h on a bicycle. Not too long? I wonder why...
