Do these cause wind drag when stuck on the spokes? Thanks!

Nope! You don't even realize they're there! Best investment for your bike- hands down

They cause no perceptible increase in wind drag. Far less than conventional spoke reflectors, and almost no weight. It's like a piece of tape about an inch wide wrapped around each spoke. No appreciable thickness.

Pretty much just like they say they will - they will decrease time to plane, they will increase stability and reduce porpoising. I only have an 18" boat so the effect may be slightly less than on yours. But I'm totally happy with them. A lot of bang for ya buck.

They stick very well if you clean the mounting surface very good with alcohol. They actually cut down wind noise.

They did not appear to be balance. I did not notice any vibration from the tires, so mine do need balancing.

They attach to the spokes, so I don't see why not.They may be rather large for such small wheels though.

Nate..Why are you concerned? Mine have 5 spokes!! Is this something to worry about? Autos are changing spokes every year! You'll be the envy of all...7 spokes not just 5!! All kidding aside. These are well made wheels and quite a great addition to a walker! Mine have served me many years

If you put them under the edge of the hood they will not hurt the paint. The directions should tell you how to put them on and were to put them properly. I have them on my VW just under the edge of the hood and have not had a problem with them with the wind. Good Luck

Mine were equipped with quick releases! The wheels are somewhat heavy but sturdy after tightening the spokes several times in the first days of use. On mine the spoke tension was not really tight at delivery status which could cause untrueing/damage if used as intended. They came without rim tape.

Nope they shine whenever the wheels spin. I have a night bike and a day bike for this very reason - saving battery life. (just kidding about saving battery life)

I'd be surprised if they didn't, but it my be wise to use a little glue to keep the wheel ones in. I had one fall out a while ago.

I bought a pair for my 2014 Cr-v and didn't notice any change as far as wind noise. I leave them on the vehicle.

As others have said, there is "some" drag, but it is really hard to quantify it. If you pick up the wheel and spin the tire it slows down faster than it did with the old hub, but I think the drag is completely insignificant when actually riding. My controller had no regen.

i use them on my scooter there is not alot of wind noise unless you turn your head side ways i really like mine takes real good videos and pictures i hope this helps

In general they are very low profile compared to other bulky racks I was looking at. The wind drag and noise isn't too bad on my subaru, but I also have a Yakima faring for aerodynamtic purposes along with wind deflection.

No. Unless they are at foot level. Big winds, snow and ice have not damaged mine. But they are attached under my roof overhang.

Believe it or not, they are not as loud as you might expect. I can't tell you the difference between these and any other MTZ tire. But the difference between these and normal stock tires they replaced are hardly noticeable. I Drive around a lot with my top down so I'm use to wind sounds however. I'm running them on a 06 wrangler unlimited on a Rough Country 4" Lift. No troubles so far. ( Except they rub on my lift on really sharp turns). I've since gotten use to a wider turn radius and can't complain.

No wind noise since they ride pretty low. You can open the sun roof to feel the wind at that point. Mileage.. Since I put them on, I've been carrying my kayak and stuff. Mileage would go down while you carry stuff.. probably not when they are empty.
