I've run out of ideas short of spending money to extract any more speed from my setup. It is with this bold claim I hand over to the good people on here with far more experience than me - what glaring omissions have I made?
Set up notes: single ring front mech mount removed. Race wheels not shown but I'm confident I have either the fastest or very near to the fastest possible wheel/tyre set up I can for this frame. The pads are slammed in the position shot as oppose to raised in the front end shot. Cranks are 165mm and I've kept saddle height the same as before (172.5mm) hip angles at top and bottom of pedal stroke are all good (bikefastfit measured.) Prior to lowering the front end and the crank swap I produced ok power and do all my training on this bike and all fast stuff in correct position. Helmet wise I have a long tailed helmet, but I've not tested it with this set up yet. Bottle wise I can't fit a BTA and comfortably use it with the bars as they are - hence behind the saddle. Tri-suit I have no choice what to use, but I've modified it to remove all 'loose' bits and am testing ways of supporting it to keep wrinkles to a minimum during races. Shoes are covered in mild duct-tape art to smooth ridges/ remove mesh and vents at the front.
So, how wrong have I got it?
Oh and apologies for the rather un-inspiring background!
