So this is basically the new front

Need to have an inch taken off the bars but rode it first time out to the fastest bike split in a duathlon today after only 15 mins pre ride

So the bike has gone to have the bars cut down and I have also got a ceramic speed rear mech to go on. New tubs are coming and there may be a wax chain.

Training focus will be the national 10

You use different muscles in aero position. Do 1 minute on, 5 minutes off to start & build up until you are comfortable. I don't change my seat position or set up.

BM - you use the same muscles . We don't have different ones. My seat is in the same position it has been in for the last 10 months.

I have only changed bikes 3 times in the last 8 years but have invested heavily in aero testing this year.

Did you read all the posts about pbs etc since the change? I rode the bike for 15 mins and then raced a duathlon putting down the fastest bike split.

Inch off the bars is to complete the fit as they are just too long when I change gear. Rush build to use as I had races.

I rode 20.17 for 10 miles the other week with all due respect i think I am a little beyond TT training 101.

Glenn - something to do with less friction saves watts

So now the bars are cut etc I rode a50/6 in 1.50.53 at the weekend.

Going back to aero test looking for those last few watts this Friday as on a Super fast course on Saturday.
