Hi - I was an age group TT competitor, I'm now paraplegic. Aero gains are free speed. Looking to help others with the aero knowledge I've gained.

@DanBiggles22 Quick question for you - do the flanges on the visor only work if the airspeed is 50kph plus? I'm seeing no difference at my modest 38kph :-)

I've made my eBook Aero Testing in the Real World available as a free download on my FloatAero website. Buymeacoffee $1 for every watt you save (optional).

Something to look out for in tomorrow's ITT at the TdF. Pros usually ride a high stack with their saddle in a similar position to their road bikes. Head and tail wind forecast so maybe some adjustments.

I'm going to archive my floataero website and post the articles on BuyMeACoffee - this is just a test to check the mechanics work. I'll probably group things together as a pseudo eBook / portfolio of articles. We'll see how that works out ..... cheers Rob

PPPPP - proper preparation prevents poor performance - unfortunately for my event last Wednesday I didn't do that. Position OK on Feedback Rollers but on road it was unrideable. Looks great in the pictures Could only stay in position 30 seconds before things started to hurt .....

Carbon Wasps with angled widgets on a Ventus II basebar. Extension angle is 45 degrees (give or take). Revolver pads with support at the side and rear. I find this position both fast and comfortable. The set up is very stable, the handling and steering are almost subliminal.
