Big limiter on the P4 is the width of rims it can take. Old school wheels are ok but anything else is a PITA

[Jorgan]

That’s getting a bit Slowtwitch; the point is, is the possibility of gaining up to 6-7w worth say £10k to an individual. That will depend on their circumstances.

Started reading the thread but I’ve given up after the Charles Barclay is a better human being than Ryf posts

[Poet]

Yeah. WTF is that about

[Matthew_Spooner]

I wouldn’t be surprised if more Swiss people know about Daniela Ryf than UK people know LCB. DR is a minor celeb over here

[FatPom]

Other way around wasn’t it?

[Hammerer]

And thats without the instagramming. Ryf is a proper athlete, races when it suits her, not compromising herself racing into the ground. For all his faults Sutton does know how to keep his athletes grounded and doing what they should be doing, winning the big races with the best paydays

I’ve not looked to see what that is in raw time but it would be a lot of sweat & hard work to gain an additional 6.5w & then what would it take to fuel that addition 6.5w?

HOLY COW!!!
For me, on the Kona course, with 2019 weather conditions, it’s at least FOUR WHOLE MINUTES!!!

[MrPG]

No news of the new fastest bike launch on Tri247? Usually they’re all over this type of news.
Maybe they signed exclusivity with Empfield for clicks? I wouldn’t be surprised.
I’ve just seen he even has a wiki page, I didn’t realise he invented the Triathlon wetsuit…

Except it’s not, you’ve added 6.5watts, but the actual impact of aerodynamics is 6.5 fewer watts are required to go at a particular speed - that is not the same. The ready reckoning in the calculation that got it that high is also rather generious I reckon.

The poster is a bag of shit either way

Of course it is
Just one of many things I’ve kicked out of my memory.

But, it does show what most people will do when told it’s a 6.5W saving.

What do you mean by that?
CdA and Crr?
Or the 6.5W that Cube or claiming?

[d.t]

Looks like I was ahead of the curve riding my Cube CX in a Sprint Tri few years back. As you can see by my hair cut (or lack of), I wasn’t trying to save any watts

[gingerbongo]

You’ve got a drafter!!!

It’s worth reading that wiki page just for the last line

I my then and thought I’d actually submitted the edit

[Hammerer]

Funniest thing I’ve read in a long term. My wife now knows I’m not “working” in the “office”

[awildt]

It’s gone. Well at least it has on the mobile version

[stenard]

Fairly sure Poet just drafted that in his browser, screenshot it, and then scrapped the edit.
You can still see his cursor in the screenshot, showing it was in edit mode!
