Run my new wheel cover next weekend?

My wheel cover from WheelBuilder should arrive on Mon or Tues this week.

I have an HIM next weekend (Challenge Knoxville).

I can get it installed before leaving for the race (I am driving to the venue).

Should I run it even though I will not have a chance to do any significant rides with it?

I'm just not sure if this falls under the "don't try something new on race day" advice.

What say you?  Run it or wait for the Ironman?

  • Unless the forecast if for a windy day, Run It.
  • Put it on. Nothing but free speed. You'll immediately know if you have installed it correctly image
  • Use it
    My first ride with a disc wheel was a training ride and it flatted.
    Ever since then I've only ever used it in races, and for 30 minutes on the Thursday or Friday before the race, to make sure it is installed correctly.
