Save weight and get aero

[rustychisel]

Shaved my legs and collected all hair from bathroom floor.

Weight saved: 3 grams.

Win win win, It's that easy.

Ah- you must be going to France soon- it's still too cold to have bare legs here...

And you aren't carrying the weight of the bugs that were hitching a ride.

shaved legs are less aerodynamic than unshaven....same reason that golf balls have dimples

10-15W at 25 mph, which is at least 3 W more compared to deep-rim wheels at 25 mph

IIRC Specialized tested this a few years ago. I think they concluded that shaved is faster by like 1/10 sec over 40k
