Damn that was awesome. You are so right, I loved this episode!

I think, primarily Xav, is conflating the usefulness of having "live CdA" readings with the usefulness of the actual consumer CdA measuring device. I agree looking at live CdA data in one's headunit whilst randomly cycling around is probably meaningless. Having a consumer product that gives you reproducibile data under conditions that someone testing their CdA would employ (such as in a velodrome, on a flat out and back course with little to no traffic and smooth asphalt etc) then they can work great and save a shit load of money... Also the "issue" around what to do with it/what to test are exactly the same as when you go to a wind tunnel or velodrome...

Excellent work

Definitely wanna know about the Sweet Protection TT helmet. If its fast, its definitive proof(along with POC" that the key to making a helmet fast is making it look ridiculous first.

[@SILCAVelo]

Haven't tested it personally but the POC is incredibly sensitive to rider head and neck position relative to the back. If you can 'turtle' your head, the POC can be quite good, if not, then it's rather poor.

@@SILCAVelo I'm definitely a pro with turtle heading. Had to do it for very long periods of time throughout my life!!!
