Subject: Long Hair - Do you tuck it in your jersey for better aero?I just watched a video from Specialized where they wind tunnel tested long hair. Having it loose and having it in a ponytail were basically the same.
Having it in a bun seemed better but was actually the same as the ponytail.
A braid was superior. They didn't test double braids or tucking in the braids.
I wonder if anyone does this?
I'm not terribly fast so I know this isn't going to matter a lot for me. But since I spent money on a jersey with the little dimples in it, it seems dumb to cover that up with my hair... I always wear a braid but what about just stuffing it into the back of the top? |
