I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to swim with Gerry Rodrigues from Tower 26 last year in Los Angeles.   While working with Gerry, it became immediately apparent that his background and knowledge for swimming (specifically open water/triathlon swimming) was unmatched by few... if any.  I was very excited to have the opportunity to interview Gerry.  This article has an incredible

Today is a good day!  We had five boxes show up today containing our production prototypes.  We've been ridding all day and testing like crazy.  We couldn't be happier with our final "production" models.  This is what we've been waiting for.  We hit strong winds, hills, descents and all were awesome.  We made a tough decision back in June to start from scratch with a new factory.  This is the

We recently had the opportunity to sit down with Kevin Houg and Martin Goint of Acuren to discuss Digital Radiography and how it can be used in the cycling industry.  At FLO Cycling we use it to inspect the products that come off of the production line.  It shows the quality of welds, eveness of carbon and the volume of glue applied to the rim.  It proves to be a valuable tool to identify

I was recently able to sit down with Bill Clark, the Vice President of Global Operations for CD-adapco, to discuss how Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software is revolutionizing the cycling industry.  At FLO Cycling we used CD-adapco's STAR-CCM+ CFD software.  For us it was a game changer.  It allowed us to drastically lower our R&D cost, reduce time to market, and most importantly

I have a confession to make.  I haven't been a responsible cyclist and I'm happy to say that I have just recently corrected that.  It's not too often that I ride in the dark, but on the occasional early morning or late night ride, I inevitably find myself doing so.  Every time I find myself in that situation, I'm upset with myself for "being that guy" who rides his bike in the dark without a

Over the weekend the FLO Cycling Blog got a face lift.  We wanted to make it easier for our readers to keep informed of updates, find our popular articles and connect with us.  We've also added some cool features that allow you to easily share our articles with others.  I'll take you through a step by step description of each feature below.

We've been getting a lot of questions about drag lately.  Questions like, what is drag, why does it matter, and how does the speed at which I travel effect drag?  To answer these questions I have put together a video and a few written examples.  I'd recommend you watch the video first.  Here we go...

A few days ago on bikeforums.net, a thread started with the title "The science behind wide rims?".  The user who posted the thread referenced an article written by us and stated that our claims seemed very opinion based.  I got involved in the discussion and was challenged to provide data proving that our FLO WIDE RIDE rims actually made the contact patch of a tire shorter and wider.  For those

Up until now our blog has been primarily about the development of FLO Cycling wheels.  Now that we are in full scale production for next season, it is only natural that our blog will eventually develop into a cycling and multisport blog.  We will still be writing plenty of articles about wheels but... there is only so much you can write about one topic.  To keep things going we have decided to

As many of you know, standard cycling wheels have a 19mm wide brake track.  Our FLO Cycling wheels have a 24.4mm wide brake track to improve aerodynamics.  This difference in brake track widths raised a question from one of our followers. "How can I adjust the width of my brake pads to accept a FLO Cycling wheel with a 24.4mm wide brake track?" I figured the best way to answer this

Over the last while I have spent a lot of time creating the FLO Component Series featured on this blog.  The purpose of the Component Series was to highlight all of the high quality components that go into building a FLO Cycling wheel.  If you haven't had a chance to read the Component Series, I suggest you do when you have a moment.   There are several reasons we chose to create the FLO

I wanted to post a quick blog article today.  Yesterday I received an email asking me what length valve stems we recommended for our FLO 60 and FLO 90 wheels.  That same email also asked how to install a valve extender.  I put together this video last night to answer the above questions.

Clinchers vs. Tubulars... the age old debate.  This discussion has been discussed at great length many times before.  My intention with this article is not to determine which is better, but instead to discuss the differences between the two systems and why we chose to start with clinchers at FLO Cycling.  For those of you who are new to clinchers or cycling in general, this may serve as a great

Introduction When we set out on our journey to design aerodynamic cycling wheels, we asked ourselves, “what makes a wheel aerodynamic?”  We soon learned there wasn’t a cut and dry answer.  After hours of research, Computational Fluid Dynamics testing, and a trip to the A2 Wind Tunnel, we now know what makes a cycling wheel aerodynamic. Below are several paragraphs discussing how we designed our

We've added to our family of prototypes.  Tonight we completed the construction of our Front FLO 90 wheel.  We were able to get it out on the road before the sun went down.  We had some pretty strong cross winds and I have to say the wheel felt very stable at over 40mph.   Take a look at the video and pictures below!  Keep in mind this is still a prototype wheel.  The cosmetic issues we

Hello All, We are very excited to share this post with you.  We have pics of our prototype wheels and a video of them in action.  Remember these are prototypes, so there are minor cosmetic issues.  The cosmetic issues have already been corrected in the factory. The final brake track will be aluminum (silver color).  The black eventually wears off so we feel it's best to  leave them aluminum.

Unfortunately, one of our factories has experienced delays.  Our prototypes were supposed to be in our hands this week, that however will not be the case.  We wanted to be honest and upfront about the situation.  To hit our March date would have forced us to rush through product

Hello everyone!  I hope you all had a good holiday season and safely brought in the new year.  I wanted to take a minute to update everyone on where we stand and what's to be expected in the coming months. Factory Update The factories are currently working on producing and testing our parts.  If all of the factories hold to their promised dates we should have our prototypes and be testing by

It's been a while since we've posted.  We wanted to let you know we've been busy at work.  We have finalized our fairing designs and should be opening our carbon fiber molds within the next couple of weeks.  We've also put together our graphics for our wheels.  Many of our followers are requesting custom color options (especially the stealth option at the end) and we have full intention of

Ten Questions With...Chris Thornham of Flo Cycling  Aero wheels.  The benefits are pretty well documented.  The aerodynamic capabilities of wheels made by Zipp, Hed, Mavic and others are well documented.  There's almost no other single piece of equipment that we triathletes can purchase that is as impactful as a good set of wheels. The problem is, though, that aero wheels are not cheap.

I wanted to take a minute and put up a few shots of the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) data we are getting back.  The results for the 60mm fairing are in and we are waiting for the 90mm shape.  First of all I think these look really cool... but maybe it's the engineer in me.  To clarify, we are modeling the tire, rim and fairing only.  We did not model the spokes or hubs.  We tested 2

I was pleasantly surprised today when I checked the mail and saw a letter from Word Bike Relief.  I assumed it was a simple thank you card, but there was a bit more.  Inside it was addressed to Flo Cycling and personally signed with a note saying "Good Luck". It's a simple thing but it goes a long way.  Check out the pictures below.  If you are interested in supporting World Bike Relief and

Jordan Rapp (http://bit.ly/dhBj67) is hosting "Rappstar's 2nd Annual Ironman Arizona World Bicycle Relief Charity Challenge".  Jordan has teamed up with World Bicycle Relief to help bring bikes to a rural community in Zambia, Africa.  The children of this town face extremely long treks to school. Some children walking up to four hours both ways.   The goal this year is to raise $25,000 which

Let's be honest, we are engineers, not graphic designers.  When we first announced our company, many people mentioned they were not crazy about our logo.  A Slowtwitcher was very kind and designed a logo for us (we are not naming him until he gives us the OK).  We loved it.  We made some minor adjustments and came up with two new options.  Please cast your vote below and let us know which logo

I can only assume that many of you will spend most of this Saturday October 9th watching the Ironman World Championships take place.  I personally have been excited about this day since the race ended last year.  I guess you know you are passionate about triathlon when you can watch a 8-9 hour race with enthusiasm the entire time.   For those of you looking for a little inside

We wanted to update you all on a couple things. 1. We hosted a carbon vote and the results are in.   1st Place: 3K with 248 Votes 2nd Place: UD with 190 Votes 3rd Place: 12K with 66 Votes So what does this mean?  We plan on using a 3K weave as our primary carbon.  We are actively working on a way to also provide UD and 12k wheels on a special order basis.  Special order details

During our visit to Interbike, we stopped into the Nineteen Wetsuit booth.  We spoke with their Sales and Marketing Manager Steve Fleck. I've always been a fan of Nineteen wetsuits. My personal favorite is the Frequency. I had a chance to demo the Frequency last season and was blown away by how flexible and comfortable the suit is. The WingSpan System does an incredible job of eliminating

Interbike 2010 was a big success for us.  All scheduled meetings went well and we are still pushing for early 2011 release of our wheels.  For more information on our wheels visit http://www.flocycling.com. We also grabbed a few pictures of some bikes you might like to see.  Try not to drool too much. 2011 Scott Plasma 3 Premium 2011 Scott Plasma 3 Premium 2011 Scott Plasma 3
