I think the rolling resistance of the spacers is .0000025 hp loss.
I like the idea of 0 resistance but I also dont want dust in there.... |
The bearings are sealed so there's no risk of damaging your bearings. The dust seals help if you're going to put a ton of miles on the bike and have a great distance between service intervals, but in racing these things don't apply. If you spin the wheel with the dust seal then without you'll see a big difference. When you're racing in a spec class where everyone is on the same hardware and inches count across the finish line, things like this matter. I had a battle with a buddy that came down to the thousandths of a second and I lost a podium spot by half a wheel across the finish line. Having every little legal advantage does make the difference for these little bikes. Not taking advantage of it is like being offered an allowance, taking some and leaving money on the table. Makes no sense.
