I know what yaw and power are I just don’t get the match up.
It appears to me that it is the relationship of the power to propel a bike at different wind angles at an undisclosed speed.

Don’t spend too much time on it Tibbs, its a pretty pointless chart when you don’t even show which of the competitors bikes you are comparing it to. It could be bikes from 2001 for all we know.

The text on Tiemeyer’s website says it was power to move the bike at 30 mph (sans rider…because a 150lb. blob with churning legs surely won’t change the relative results).
Basically looks like they make frames with deep cross sections as road/track frames. the irony is that a racer going 30mph will very rarely see the yaw angles that their frames claim to be better for (and track racers are unlikely to see those at any speed).
That is an old, old, old chart. Tiemeyer makes some good, good stuff, but I don’t think they can hold a candle to what these guys offer these days.
With no disrespect meant to Tiemeyer, file this chart in file 13.
It’s clearly marketing literature from either Cerelo or Tiemyer.
Companies don’t distribute stuff that makes them look bad and there are no independants that would spend money on wind tunnel time.
my guess is the tiemeyer compares favorably to the p2k and aluminum transition?
