^They'll all be on Mavics Shirley?
So far as I know it goes disc being most aero, 5/4/3 spoke next then spokes least aero. Front wheel makes much more difference than rear - probably in terms of handling as well as aerodynamics though, hence why you don't see double discs in keirin and match sprint etc.
Lenticular discs are more aero than flat ie Mavic v Corima and I'm seeing a lot of cheap chinese carbon tri and 5 spokes with non aerofoil shaped spokes ie they aren't directional and presumably aren't as aero as those that are.
So, depends what you're doing. Pursuiting or timetrialling you'll want double discs and lenticular if you can afford it, sprinting well you probably want double disc for the flying 2 then swap the front out for heats/finals and bunch racing probably spokes or if you afford to be binning them when some twat swings up without looking then 5 spoke and disc.

Many thanks for that,do you have or seen any info on the ADR 5 spokes,at present I have Corima 4 spokes (front and rear)so my understanding is if I get the Corima disc to swap out,
- It will be the cheapest option
- Should be fairly aero with the four spoke having tear drop blades or would a 3 spoke be more efficient on the front with the disc rear.
I am hoping to compete at the flying 200 and 500 (Masters).
Cheers.

I think I've seen some of those ADR wheels, possibly under other branding.
Think they are a symmetrical spoke so your Corima 4 spoke would probably be more aero.
You'd be better off confirming with MDCCTester but I think the biggest bang for your buck considering your disciplines could be to trade your front 4 spoke for a disc.

Best wheel combination
Posted by
Hello,
Does anyone know what is the best wheel combination on an indoor velodrome for for the most aerodynamic gains , i know the Mavic disc and IO,s are first in line but thier cost rules them out.
Or is there a table anywhere that gives the results.
Cheers and thanks for looking
