Null winds: Wheel fairing test/ video

Hey all,
Been lurking on here awhile, gathering knowledge before I start my own project, 'Aero-off-road'. Off road vehicles often have relatively open and exposed wheels so while googling that I found this company that makes bicycle wheel fairings and there is a very interesting video demonstration of how vehicle speed/ headwinds affect wheel drag. It's not groundbreaking, but does help reinforce what we already know.

Apparently I can't post links but if you manually enter it, maybe someone with more posts than I can put it in a follow up post on this thread

Null winds 'dot' com 'slash' technical

Enjoy!
