Aerodynamic Wheel Disks - For your Bike

Step 3Cut and Wedge

Cut and Wedge
Now it's time to cut. Cut out your circle, then drill out your center hole (if applicable).

Now, we want to make a cone to follow the shape of the spokes as the move fro rim to hub. To do so, we need to cut out a pie shaped wedge.

First, cut out a straight radius. Now, place your disk on the wheel and squeeze the plastic around to form a cone. Mark where the plastic overlaps with a marker.

Next, cutout the marked radius. Check your cone shape against the wheel by taping the plastic together to keep the conical shape. If more needs to be trimmed - you can always go back and trim more. Just remember, the more you trim - the larger the cone.
