Aero Testing Diaries ep.17 - Ready To Race

[@jonathanzappala]

I would say the same about going low and not being able to see, I could go lower, but then it’s hard to see, and I usually race on open roads with traffic.

[@ronykuba]

Yes, that is certainly a limitation.

[@mvachonecn]

Thanks for the great updates insights! I’ve seen that over the years you’ve tested both the shiv TT and the shiv tri LTD. I’ve seen some people have had both but tend to use the TT rather than Ltd recently (even if they’re not limited by uci). Would you say there’s a big inherent difference between the two frames? Thanks!

[@ronykuba]

Cheers 👋 there’s not a single thing in common between the two frames, apart from the thru axles and derailleur hanger, so I am not sure how to answer that question.

[@briancoote3888]

Ron what handlebar angle have you found the fastest 15,20 25? Keep the videos coming

[@ronykuba]

Just like with everything else, there’s no “one fastest” bar angle.

[@ricardomorgan1418]

Hi! Thanks for all this series of videos. There is a lot of super information. I will look forward to the test with the new aerobars. So now you ride at 49/50km/h at 320w? Maybe I miss understood that. Do you know what speed do you average ride at an easy (for you) 250w? Thank you.

[@ronykuba]

Cheers. I need 320W for 50km/h With my current CdA in good conditions. At 250W that equates to 45.6 km/h.

[@ricardomorgan1418]

@@ronykuba wow that´s amazing. At 250w I´m barely touching 39km/h and I´m a small guy (170cm, 70kg). I need to work on my cda. Thank you very much!

[@ronykuba]

@@ricardomorgan1418 yep, there is work to be done.

[@romangutt9221]

Was there a trend in the data when you changed from hed to evolve?

[@ronykuba]

No

[@A_o1]

How different are the Bambinopro and Evo models?

[@A_o1]

Is there a difference in the case of sprint races on the track? I think there will be a clear difference in long-distance racing, but I wonder how much difference there is in short-distance.

[@ronykuba]

I don’t know exactly.

[@romangutt9221]

Did you get results on overshoes on the day?

[@ronykuba]

No, we have done those at the velodrome.

[@treyxt]

do you notice a difference in cda testing the same position on a warmer day vs a colder day?

[@ronykuba]

We have never tested that specifically, but the system compensates for atmospheric conditions so it should be the same.

[@muhammadfaris2239]

Do you have a tubeless setup on?

[@ronykuba]

Yes

[@shaywright8105]

Test the conti aero 111 tire please!

[@ronykuba]

There’s no point in that.

[@cameronfrancis5975]

@@ronykuba Why do you say that?

[@ronykuba]

@@cameronfrancis5975 the Crr is too high

What skinsuit do you use in the video?

[@ronykuba]

Rule 28 prototype

[@tdswedish]

Thanks, which cap do you use and does it cover the ears?

[@ronykuba]

@@tdswedish a motorcycle helmet undercap

[@romangutt9221]

Do you use a cap to get a similar effect like the TT5 sock? Have you measured a difference? How does it effect the cooling?

[@ronykuba]

@@romangutt9221 yes to all.
