Well your questions are primarily related to a test that TriRig didn't run, observe, or have any connection to. You may wish to pose these questions to Jim Manton of ero-sports.com, who ran the tests. Regarding Omega One vs. Omega X, we can definitively say that Omega One is the fastest brake we have ever tested. We don't have a published graph, but suffice it to say, Omega One is faster.
Thanks. I realize you didn't conduct that test, but I figured the manufacturer might be able to speak of the benefits of either brake on a road bike. Do you have any thoughts from your tests?
thank you
Regarding what exact aerodynamic effect any given product will have on any particular and unique setup, that's impossible to speculate. That's exactly why we have testing in the first place; results aren't always predictable, so we run the test to gather the data. However, we do see across the board that Omega brakes have a substantial and measurable aerodynamic benefit compared to traditional brakes, and in fact any other brakes we have tested. So while we can't put an exact number on the drag savings you will achieve on your setup, we can confidently say that you *will* achieve a benefit. This will be true for aero frames and round-tube frames alike, regardless of geometry.
I hope that's helpful!
