[quote AlexG Where is the wind tunnel data that says you guys have to have your faces closer to the front wheel?
This is not a bad question. It seems like having your head down and out of the wind would be faster... but is there any data out there? Has anyone measured their drag at various levels of drop?
Yes, at LSWT[/quote]
I did a WT session. We found that at a certain point there wasn't anything, other than discomfort, to be gained from going lower.
The funny thing is that looking at the pictures (front view) from the wind tunnel demonstrates that reducing frontal area was the best predictor of drag (i.e., less A = less drag). Other than raising the bar angle slightly, there weren't any changes that made me faster that you couldn't figure sitting in front of a mirror on your trainer (i.e, not much I could do to change the Cd of CdA).
