Question for Gary in SD

Gary, I really enjoy your new TT site but there is one huge inaccuracy that should be brought to your attention. In the aerodynamics section you’ve claimed that integrated aero bars will save four minutes over 40 kms compared to drop bars. This is highly optimistic. If you go to the Vision Tech site their aerodynamic testing showed a difference of only about thirty seconds with integrated bars vs drops/clip-ons. In fact, bullhorns/clip-ons is only marginally faster. Their testing was done by Jim Martin so it would have to be considered very credible. Check it out here. http://www.visiontechusa.com/visionaero.asp

Whooops. Sorry. Re-read the Vision Tech site and it makes a difference of about a minute, but that’s still a lot less than you claim.
