Of course you want to be in a position that allows you to push hard but my question was in regard to the "aero" and "deeper rims" remarks.
So let me get this straight: the screen generates suction* and the more aerodynamic your bike is, the less this suction* is going to pull you forward. So you would ideally want some kind of sail to benefit from that force as much as possible?
*I'm sure this term is totally inaccurate in this context but a lack of proficiency in both physics and the English language prevent me from using the correct terminology.
