I've been wondering about ways in which manufacturers could take a competitors bike, outfit it with the same kit as their own and end up skewing the results. The example I came up with was fitting a non-rotating tri-spoke with the blade sitting between the fork legs.




1a. You could leave the cables extra-long on a bike where they enter the sides of the downtube and compare it to a bike with neatly-trimmed behind-the-stem cable routing.

1b. You could leave the cables off entirely when comparing bikes that differ significantly in their cable routing.

2. You could test with the crank arms in different positions.

3. You could have the bar-end shift levers positioned differently.

Etc.
