THAT'S NOT AERO, THIS IS AERO
AERO HAS BEEN A THING for quite a while. With the invention of the wheel, came speed. With speed came wind. With wind came...
... drop bars.
140 years ago!
And, we've been working on...
- positions
- clothing
- helmets
- tubing
- bars
... it ever since.
We are slipperyer.
No doubt.
Which got me thinking yesterday as I was slipping off the back of the group...
- drop the stack height
- ride closer to wheel in front
- grabbed my most aero helmet
- donned the amazing Speedsuit we make
.... could I be more aero?
Probably.
Would it have mattered yesterday?
No.
I came off on a 1-mile power climb that demands 400 watts...
... I was 70 shy.
No amount of aero is gonna fix that.
Or, would it make a difference...
- stay off the front
- keep in the drops
- aero helmet
- Speedsuit
... if arrived at the climb slightly fresher.
To be honest, for me, it's probably more about handling marginal pains, than stressing over...
... marginal gains.
Let's find out next week!
Nothing to lose, but...
... time and effort.
