Anyhow, still seems the easiest method to test aero treatments, and if I ever need to A-B-A test a treatment, I will be using the throttle-stop method.

I'm certainly not going to purchase laboratory time to see precisely how much improvement pizza pan moon discs are giving me.
It’s hard for me to throttle stop test. The floor below my pedal is too squishy!
