Subject: RE: Time Difference b/w Tri-Bike and Road BikeFor me, from a typical road position, on the hoods, road helmet, training wheels, jersey and bibs, I was saving about 8s/km.
That was pretty good aero position, aero front plus disc cover, skinsuit and aero helmet. Plus I tried to take care of little things (horizontal bottle between bars ), clean cable routing, avoiding cylinders exposed to air flow, etc.
This would be at oly effort so a difference of about 3km/h (and that's definitely not with a high end bike - Leader 730TT - basic alu tri bike ).
