FREE SPEED!
Before you buy… start doing these things first!
Aero doesn’t have to be about spending thousands. For most age-groupers, there are much cheaper ways to ride faster…
1. Stay aero
Find a position that allows you to be comfortable over long periods of time. The best aero position is one you can hold. 80% of drag is from the athlete. Practice in this position. Get comfy, stay aero.
2. Bottle placement
Between the arms. Stacked if you can.
Behind the saddle. Stacked if you can.
In aero bottle if you have one on frame.
3. Tight kit
A simple and obvious one. A comfy kit that’s nice and snug around the arms, shoulders and legs. Get the right size kit. Heard the JET ones go fast…
4. Shave your legs
We know it’s faster. Shave the legs. Arms too, if you’re serious! Also looks better and good for massage treatment too #facts
5. Head position
Practice your head tuck. Head low and behind the hands if you can. No turtle necks please… This ties back in with point number one!
Master the free gains before chasing the expensive ones.
