Why do cyclists use solid back wheel?
Disc wheels don’t encounter the air resistance that spokes do, but they’re also heavier, less maneuverable, and can be blown around—or even right out from under you—in a strong crosswind. An indoor track, where races tend to be short and flat and require less turning, is a great place for disc wheels.
Why are aero wheels faster?
These aero wheels are fast in two ways. First, their smooth airfoil shapes pass through the air a lot more cleanly than a box-section rim. The tyre is the leading edge and splits the air. A shallow box-section rim can’t do this, so air behind it is turbulent, causing more drag.
Why do Olympic bicycles have no spokes?
Wheel covers, which can be added to spoke wheels to make them perform like disc wheels, are prohibited for this reason. UCI rules require spoke wheels for any mass start event on the road (a race in which a bunch of cyclists all start in the same place) because they’re safer.

Why do Olympic bikes have solid rear wheels?
