I did a few searches, but I need help trying to figure out my own wind buffeting issue...
I'm 6'3" with very broad shoulders.
My riding position is nearly lock-armed (a little bend for shock absorption).
I have a fitted kevlar jacket with shoulder/elbow pads (for even more width to my frame).
I use a full-face helmet (Scorpion).
When I get above 45 MPH or so, I have a distinct sensation of wind pushing me, but not consistently. Now, of course, it's March, and natural cross-winds are hard to avoid, but I only notice it when I'm 45+. If I tuck down a bit, it seems to get better.
So, is it my riding position? My size? My gear?
I don't plan on doing a lot of highway riding, but it's hard to imagine going 60+ with that kind of wind play going on.
All suggestions welcome!
