just a little heads up, to go from a 30 sumin to a 28 is pritty easy, it just is ( like going from 5mph to 10 mph, but when you go from 15mph to 20mph its alot harder )

so goin from a 28 to a 24 will be hard, nearer impossible in such a short amount of time, the top lads will be goin for like 20's maybe ( the ghs course can be under 10 mile btw )

and i agree with what some one else said, you'd get alot more aero advantage from a cheap frame and disc wheel, deep front wheel...

Best of luck Scott.

Just out of interest where do you TT guys train? Do you need to find a long stretch of road, like a dual carriageway or do you use tracks?

I've seen a couple of people out on TT bikes around my way, but with all the roundabouts, traffic lights and road vehicles I don't see how they get a good clear run at anything.

hi
i live in the countryside and i train by just racing along the straigts and stand up and sprint up the hills which i find is quite good for training.
cheers

That is lovely. Have you looked at the Ribble Aero TT frame though? £635 for the frame fork and seatpost. Spend another £400 on a 105 groupset and maybe another £300 on headset, some tasty aero bars, saddle etc, and with £2000 to spend you'd have enough money left for some deep section rims and nice tyres.

I always think aero frames look odd with regular wheels and it kind of defeats the purpose. Aero rims will make more of a difference in a TT than a slippery frame will.

This is good advice - the Aksiums on that bike are ok at best.Getting some really decent wheels and tyres should be your no 1 objective and a really stiff frame no 2.

hope your training on gear restrictions... tt'in kills leg speed for alot of people

 

[scott s10]

what do you mean by gear restrictions
