@umop3pisdn Yes Flo is 24.4 at the brake track, is the 25 likely to make a material difference?
@andyp Racing in Rimini, friends who ride that area every year say the roads have taken a bit of a nose dive in the last couple of years as the local government seems to have stopped repairing them, I don't know if this means the occasional big hole or just a rough surface...
The 20mm drop at the front end of the bike doesn't seem to have limited power at all, and if anything feels more comfortable, apart from slightly feeling like I now need to hold on to the aerobars, but that may be a factor that the two test rides I've done were in long sleeves so there isn't as much friction on the elbow pads - I did the main bit of the h10/2 course this morning and nice to see lots of PBs on strava despite not giving it everything and wearing a normal jersey and road helmet, my pre season aim of 22:xx seems like it may be easier than I thought!
