Hey everyone,
I hope you're all having a lovely evening. I've never done any road racing (I don't even own a road bike) or TTing on fixed. But, I raced at the Open Season event at Herne Hill last weekend. It was my first time properly racing on the track and I actually had quite a bit of success and did a lot better than I thought I would. I got 2nd (out of 32 riders) in the 900m TT with a time of 1:07.22. However, I didn't have pursuit bars or a fancy disc wheel. Does stuff like that even make that much of a difference or matter at all across such a small distance? What sort of change in time, if any, should I expect if I upgraded my equipment?
Thanks,
Joseph
