This year I redesigned my BTA bottle mount and it allowed me to get a lot lower on the front and "hide" behind my arms (comparison below). Last year it as all a bit last minute when I realized that my large bottles wont fit, and had to do a quick and dirty solution before my half ironman. Some other small changes : new rear disc, corsa g2.0 now matching on the rear, custom grip at the end of extensions housing the shifer that gives me a more comfortable grip, longer reach by moving pads forward.
In this new position I averaged 38.6km/h over 87.5km, with only 205W. Now, the obvious low hanging fruit is to actually train properly for the next one. And then there are some others like a TT helmet, better skinsuit (better than LFGSS one?! Impossible!) figuring out the impact of my bento box...etc.
I quite like the idea of aero testing, and Im seriously playing with the thought of buying an Aerosensor. I love data analysis, and just the whole technical aspect of it is fascinating. More of a hobby purchase to spend my time than a justified "I need this to be faster" one. I'll also set a goal of X km's trained on the TT bike before I pull the trigger...
I want to make sure that I'll have a proper spot where I can go back again and again, but I live in central London. Any ideas? I found this stretch of road near Rainham, takes me 20m by train to get there, and hopefully theres a time of the day when it isnt that busy. I'll probably check it out next week.
Last but not least, if I purchased one, anyone interested in renting it at a very sensible price? I dont know what that pricepoint is, but in a setup where people could take it more than once to go back and test new things..etc. Not to profit, just to get back some of the costs and make it more accessible.
