Cervelo Aero Shootout
Quote | Reply
Let's assume identical positions, components (except for the handlebars) and wind and a flat 40K TT Course:

Bike 1: 2012 P2 - 60:00
Bike 2: 2014 P2
Bike 3: 2012 P3 (old geometry)
Bike 4: 2013 P3 (new geometry)
Bike 5: 2008 Soloist Carbon with round road bars and clip on aerobars
Bike 6: 2014 P5 - UCI
Bike 7: 2014 P5 - Tri

What would be your guesses for bike 2-7 ?

For full disclosure, I ride Bike 3 + 5, rode Bike 1 ... (and use a T1 on the track, but different position and setup)

OK, I'll play.
2) -45s
3) -5s
4) -45s
5) +30s
6) -50s
7) -70s
All stock bars. Put really aero bars ( Ventus, Alpha, Vuka Stealth) on options 1-4 and 6 and take another 15-20s off.

Am I close? Do I win a prize? BTW I went with option 4 with Zipp Vuka Stealth bars - I considered a P5 but prefer the convenience of exposed brakes.

1: +0
2: -35s
3: -5s
4: -35s
6: -39s
7: -44s

Moral of the story, get a NP2 and put a really fast bar on it (Ventus or TriRig Omega if you don't need angular adjustment, 3piece 26.0 vision if you do)

For wheels, get a Flo 30 set with Conti GP4000s 23mm and a wheel cover.

Boom, superbike for supercheap.
