Wheel Rim

The practice of drafting involves a group of cyclists strategically positioning themselves to reduce air resistance and conserve energy while riding at high speeds. This technique, also known as "slipstreaming," is particularly effective in long-distance races or time trials. Wheel rim drafting refers to the practice of following closely behind another rider's wheel, thereby taking advantage of the turbulence-free air created by the front rider and reducing drag on the follower's bike. This can significantly improve performance and energy conservation in cycling events.
