I tested my front fairing this week. It is a cut and tuck coroplast piece made to look like a motorcycle Windjammer. I ride a Jamis Aragon city bike with 700Cx32cm front and 38cm rear. Tire pressures are 85 psi front and 78psi rear. My weight is 250 lbs. My easy cruise speed on level ground is now 14 mph up from 10 mph measured by an electric bike computer. With a brisk head wind on the front quarter I could still comfortably keep 12 mph. Since it attached to the frame there is no steering effects.
I have some smoothing and minor adjustments to do. Pictures and test data from coast downs will be posted. Then I will add a tail box and more testing for each component separately as well as in combination.
