Re: the hierarchy of aero [aries33]
Getting fatter often/sometimes reduces drag.

WEIRD

However from a triathlon perspective yes, losing 5lbs would gain you a lot speed...on the run..for many people.

But, you can lose 5lbs *and* slam that stem.

Ten, five or even two pounds of body fat is certainly bigger than most components being discussed. If you took a look at what ten pounds of fat looks like, it's pretty huge.....the wind would see it all. I have no data, but I think most of us would reduce our cda more by losing five pounds in comparison to new booties.
