Dear ST aerogods,
A little help if possible.
I have 2 race bike options, a BMC TM01 and an S5, my road bike.
I have a handful of races where there is enough up and down that I would like to be on the S5, but also a few flatter races that I would like to use the BMC for.
I am considering selling the BMC early (it was due to be sold in July anyway) to help put some money towards my wedding.
*IF* both bikes had the same wheels (808 firecrests) and the same position in every way (I have done this no problem) with the S5 having 38cm drop bars and clip ons, compared to an ultra aero ADR setup on the BMC. In theory, whats the cost in terms of watts and time?
I plan on doing some testing to see if I can pinpoint figures, clearly there are tonnes of variables but it would be nice to know a ballpark, if anyone has any ideas based on aero data etc.
Thanks!
