Hi
I'm after some help from all the aero gurus out there if I may.
I'm a 53 yo male, been a runner mainly over the last few years. But some niggling injuries has got me back into cycling, and with that an urge to take part in some duathlons.
Looking at recent results, I feel I could be competitive in my age group running wise, but my bike needs work!
I'm currently riding a 2010 Kestrel Airfoil Pro SL, with a HED 3 rear, and a Hunt 36 front. I've also got a Hunt 50 rear, but feel the Hed is faster.
I came across this wheel test recently:
https://www.hambini.com/...test-bicycle-wheels/
The author doesn't rate Hunt wheels that much so it got me thinking, as I need all the help I can get on the bike, what time gains, over say 40k, could I get by going to a disc rear and a Zipp 404 front, over my Hed 3 and Hunt 36 front?
I realise body position is paramount, and I'm working on that. Also training, which I'm also working on. But if I am losing a chunk of time with the Hunt front, I'm happy to invest in a faster wheel.
Thanks
