I'm wondering if anyone has done, or has heard of doing this, on motorcycle tires? Completely covering the spokes. It seems like a spoked tire would create a lot of aerodynamic drag. Is this true?
I know I've seen this done on some competition bicycles such as in the Olympics. The one problem I see in the real world is cross-wind effect while riding. You might get blown all over the road.
Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.
