Let's face it, if there were big enough gains to be had from going fixed to offset the problem of being in the wrong gear most of the time, TT results would be dominated by fixed gear riders. Can anybody name the last person to make the top 12 of the BBAR on fixed, excluding @pnut ? The reputation of fixed for being fast is hugely distorted by a few records set by Boardman and Obree who would have been faster on gears but rode TTs on their track bikes because track was what they were really concerned with.
