I follow Jim’s Fast Or Fiction KZfaq channel, great info there, hope he starts posting again soon. Love some aero content, glad you found some gains!

At 11:31, Jim killed all of that noise😂. As a matter of fact, I dont know if he has one or not already, but if not, I think a great video for you to do would be to have him break down his expert opinion of all of the TT aero watt savings that these bike product people are putting in our face daily, And see what he has to say about whether or not they are going to actually do anything on the bike or not, or how much, because he is not bias. Some things aero, yes, but not as much as they claim, perhaps.

No shoutout for the BTA, I’m gutted

Yeah Trevor. What BTA setup? I’m taller like guys on the same bike. Saw Big Metz at the rained out IMCA, Trevor we cheered you on in Milwaukee. All the crazy TriDot folks.

Can't recommend enough getting an activity mount/hitch installed at Uhaul so you can put a proper bike rack on the back of your car.

Really cool stuff! I'm going to be diving right into the deep end of this type of stuff in March. Not only am I doing my first time trial, but it's a 24-hour time trial that will also be my first 24-hour ride attempt. Never even ridden a TT bike before, but have most of one in parts boxes in the basement, waiting on the last few items to show up to begin the build. I'll have to act quick once it's built to get a my position set and a helmet ordered to complement the position. Wish me luck! After this one in March, we going full crazy and spending a ton of time on this bike all summer in prep for the 24-hour World Time Trial Championships in November.

I loved this one. Not bad progress either. I specifically like that you pointed out shoving the bottle down their kit isn’t advantageous to everyone. Excited to see y’all race this year! Ps I love the move to AZ ❤

It's interesting that the bottle down the front was worse. That is the second time I have heard that. Guess I won't be trying that. Thanks for the information. Good Stuff

Thoughts on socks vs calf sleeves? No change ya think?

@bigjmetz11 4 ай бұрын

Like all of this stuff, super individual. From what I understand with sleeves, having them be as long as possible for your lower leg length is going to be quicker

@marcvermill5623 4 ай бұрын

Why that brand of tire? My understanding is the Continental GP 5000 the fastest and one of the best for flat resistance around. (Not really telling you anything you don't already know). Just wondering the thoughts on the tire choice, especially with all the flats....

@bigjmetz11 4 ай бұрын

I like the GP 5000. Have used them a lot. These are old race Schwlebes PRO TT's so they don't have particularly good puncture resistance. ultimately there was an issue with the valve core on that 7.8 front wheel so I was able to fix that and use the 7.8 on day 2 for testing

@janemf 4 ай бұрын

i have a speedmax, and i don’t recognize the aerobars here. are those different bars and arm cups or is it just different arm cups?

@bigjmetz11 4 ай бұрын

Just different arm cups- these are the TriRig Scoops SL. The extension is stock Canyon

@jackiewong0806 2 ай бұрын

Not sure if I follow. 228 means CDA of 0.228? If yes, I thought for TT bike, a good CDA usually would be below 0.2?
