Keep in mind this exercise is in no way to optimize aero and CdA. Decisions were made to standardize variables across equipment. I am actually a bit higher on the stack here because we couldn't get the P5 as low as I wanted, so we brought everything else up slightly. Kit might also be slow but it has less potential for wrinkling than sleeved.

Stay tuned. Results looks very very consistent at zero yaw. I am holding still like my race depends on it.

If you haven't already, please share the social media or throw in a few bucks. We have already hit some impossible to predict snags in equipment that have robbed us of time. Who knew the thru axle threads were different between Andean and P5-X? I mean really, guys?

no one wants to guess which will win?

Dan, how about a poll? at 0 yaw + rider on, which bike will test fastest***********?







***********caveats may apply

The amazing thing is that a 12x142 rear thru axle may have a different thread from frame to frame, and on forks it is a total shit show on what TA works with what fork. I love how loosely the bike industry uses the term "standard"

P5
Tactical
Andean
P5-X
Ventum
B2

Let's se how I do. My guess is that they are within 15 watts from first to worst and the top 3 are within 5 watts.

ETA: Results are at 0-5 watts with the bikes with sails (Andean/P5-X/Ventum) doing better at higher yaws.

Going with order of testing (1st bikes test faster) even though I don't believe in reality it would be accurate....
Keeping a good position during all that can be a bitch...and that's an understatement.
