*whoosh*

Thanks. Thinking that amount is too small to call... and an XS doesn't restrict his position options?

Wow, that is a name from the past. Didn’t know he eas still in a sort of way involved in the sport. Pretty cool, he was a pretty good athlete in the late ‘80’s/early ‘90’s.

Jeroen, he has a great Youtube channel. At this moment he is transferring his channel to english to reach more athlete's.
A pitty that we do not have such channels in NL like Roy or triahlonszene (German).

Jan has flat forearms. So that’s where Lionel goes.

 I missed it at first too. After seeing the 9.0 CDA announced on Instagram then 0.001 improvement should've set off the "Talbot is making a joke" bell

That is interesting since there is no XL speedmax CF SLX in size XL........and also no XS unless they have those sizes available to pro’s and not to the public.

 My bad it was an XXXL frame

That's an invalid Roman Numeral. It would just be written as XX

This guy also did extensive testing to select the best frame size, and ended up here:

Ah, that cleared things up :-)

But this guy is constrained by UCI rules, so he can't go long... so he take a smaller frame and goes up...

Well, it all depends on your body type. Levi is a pretty small guy with short upper arms. Anyone with that kind of morphology doesn't need much drop at all to be aero. For a larger person with long upper arms it's going to be pretty hard to get really aero without a decent amount of drop unless you go pretty far in the superman direction.

The point is well taken that low doesn't always mean more aero, and the same pad height can result in very substantial differences in aero depending on your posture. However, most triathletes start out high. And they go wide. And they don't turtle or keep their head down. And they wonder why some other people go faster on fewer watts. Plus, the prevailing wisdom in tri circles until fairly recently was to go with a pretty short reach with upper arms completely vertical. You need to go significantly lower to attain the same shoulder height with short reach than if you extend the reach forward a bit.

The mantra of don't go too low seems to be directed at very aero saavy riders, but there are a lot of barn doors out there that could actually stand to go lower.

You reeled in some good ones today. Well done.

Posture. There is a big range depending on how you hold your shoulders.
