  • I have hardly done a TT in almost 10 years. If I wanted to do a couple this year just for the hell of it, what would I need to update to be OK with latest aero knowledge?

    I'm thinking my frame is probably good enough but that I would need new:
    Skin suit
    Front end
    Helmet
    Wheels
    Socks / calf-warmer thingys
    Gloves (?)

    Anything else?

    And what should I get - I don't need to have / can't justify paying for the best, just 'good enough' modern kit?

  • Hundreds of hours of aero testing time.

    I'd ride a few with what you've got first to see if you can really be bothered. Then worry about upgrading, starting with clothes and helmet. I tested helmets with nutshell when he was local and then bought a cheap version of what I tested fastest with. Skinsuits I just buy whatever fastest one NoPinz has at the time.

  • I have a couple of NoPinz suits (both Medium) and a Bell Javelin (Small) as well as some racier tyres if you're thinking of going 2nd hand.

    Lights and helmet.
    I'm as guilty of pissing money up the wall as the next man, but TTs are just as much fun on a cheap bike.
