Agreed. Thanks!the details are all very cool - thanks for the insight.
are you going to do any wind tunnel work for optimal positioning?

I do work for a gentleman who races TT and was lucky enough to go with him to the wind tunnel for some testing. Very interesting place, and yet so monotonous and boring at the same time. Was very worth it though as he gained a lot of time just by swapping a skin suit, hand position and tires
and i though it was all about who spent the most $$$
As an ex-TT nerd I can confirm it is 100% about money.
Sure is ! I think hes won the state championship few years. Hes a bit over the top with biking lolIs that gentleman's name, Steve?
hahaha.. it's racing, so its always going to be costly. I'll disagree though in terms of it being 100% about money....
OK, it's 98% about money. Unless your name is Ken and you set all the records in the state on a road bike with aero bars and a 15 year old Spinergy wheel.
I always thought it would be cool if they enforced USAC TT rules at the State level so it would be more about the rider than bike and/or position. Almost all of the fast guys are running non-legal set-ups which is why you seldom see any of them heading out to take a swing at a National Championship.

I'd say it's about 85%.... Are you sure Ken still has all the records?
In terms of enforcing USAC TT rules at the state level... I can see both sides of the story. Perhaps it makes it less about equipment... but it also takes a whole lot of people out of the equation and if there aren't enough people showing up, then the races don't happen. I'm pretty sure my bike conforms to USAC rules, except for maybe saddle position... might be slightly too far forward.
This is also true in drag racing... which is why drag racing is shit.As an ex-TT nerd I can confirm it is 100% about money.

Circuit all day. Touge FTW.
looking good , where are you riding?Got out on the Fuse again today... still gotta knock the rust off and get used to being in the woods again. the bike is feeling more and more comfortable.

Would suggest Stephen's. Best riding in the state IMO. Not very technical but somewhat climby depending on loop.
If interested, the shop is hosting an OptOutside friday ride at Stephens.
