Why don't we see more bikes similar to the time trial bikes made in the mid eighties (used in 100 km TTT world championships and Olympics by the Swedish national team)
The reason we don't see it in bike racing is that 24" wheels are banned by the UCI. But are they in triathlon?[/img]
These bikes had Shimano Dura AX brakes, Modolo Kronos levers, back-turned forks to minimize air drag (and to be able to get a better drag from the next guy in the Team Time Trial).
I wouldn't recommend wheel covers in the front wheels, but an open 24" in front?
