Thin to win

I saw a potential problem with that actually. So, I made a little addition to the fenders for the next race.

Blue sections of drinking straws I got from a local restaurant, after searching for the right color /images/boards/smilies/idea.gif, link the rear of the trailing fender with the front of the rear fender.

Why move all of the air out of the way twice?

Culvers?
 
Its actually a good idea according to the aerodynamic numbers.

I've had a design which according to the numbers works better but it poses problems with variable wheel base lengths. Can't mass produce a fender with infinite amount of wheel bases.

Possibly if there is a majority wheelbase or a couple everyone uses?
