Wheelbuilder AeroJacket Disc Covers
Convert your training wheel into a race day disc wheel. Wheelbuilder AeroJacket covers can be custom trimmed to fit most road wheels. AeroJacket disc covers are easy to install and provide wind cheating aerodynamics at a fraction of the cost of a disc wheel. Check out our aerodynamic test results for detailed wind tunnel data and wheel comparisons.
NOTE: Black covers are no longer available
STEP 1: Determine Wheel Compatibility – Please read the following information.
- Your wheel must have 5mm minimum clearance between the largest cog on your cassette and the drive side spokes.
- If the space is less than 5mm rubbing will occur between the chain and the cover.
- The best place to take your measurement is from the top of the largest cog to the nearest spokes on the drive side.

- For Zipp wheels, please identify the correct Zipp hub in your Zipp factory-built wheel. Specify which year and model Zipp wheel you have in the notes field.
STEP 2: Input Rim Dimensions – Please read the following information.
- Measure rim depth. Rim depth includes brake track as pictured below. Most rim manufacturers publish this information for aero wheels.
- Measure rim width at the widest point.
- Any additional information about your wheel Brand, Make, Model, and Year should be input in the text field.

Important:
- The covers might not lay completely flat when they are trimmed extremely small. This applies to very deep profile rims in excess of 80mm.
- A rim height of at least 16mm is required.
- Disc covers are not intended for continuous training use. Remove covers between races.
- DO NOT use Loctite on fasteners. Loctite will disintegrate the cover material and cause fasteners to pull through.
- AeroJacket Disc Covers take 2-3 business days (M-F) to fabricate. Please account for 2-3 business days (M-F) fabrication time when choosing an appropriate shipping method.
