What Bike Was This I Saw

Is it…a ..wok n woll bike ? Coat, colected.

 

If one adds a carbon cover of weight x kg to a wheel of y kg, the total weight is x+y kg which is greater than y kg.
Unless of course the cover is negative x kg.

 

The cover is actually a sealed Torus filled with helium, so it's lighter than air.

 

But the average density of the physical stuff ( wheel plus cover) is less than that of the wheel alone, so it's lighter

I bet it sounds awesome though.

I haven’t seen covers used in pro cycling recently if at all.
Discs yes but only under certain circumstances and that on the motorcycle looks to be a cover not a disc.

 

Oh dear oh dear….

 

And a v4r no less
