    HOW TO MAKE YOUR ROAD BIKE FASTER: A MASTERCLASS WITH AEROCOACH



    My mate Xavier is one of the leading cycling aero experts in the world. Earlier this year I spent some time with him dialling in one of my road bikes specifically for road bike time trials. Here’s a complete masterclass with Xav on how you can make your bike more aero. Check out Aerocoach here: https://www.aero-coach.co.uk/

      Afternoon Chris, going areo for a purpose here, what better place for that aggressive fit…….targetting anything specifically in the next few weeks Chris? Very cool paint / graphics and front chain ring 😎👍……. nice one !

      Bike and position looks superb with the mods. Look forward to seeing you race it Chris. I sometimes used to race TT’s on a road bike back in the 90Ts with a Giro aero helmet and skinsuit. Wish I’d had a bike and position like yours 😁

      This is awesome! I wish I had someone that could do a similar workup with me on my road bike (US). Currently I've got aero extensions on the road bike while I try to save up for a TT bike, but I have no idea where to even start when it comes to most of the fit stuff. Aiming for some big races and big wins next season, I'll need all the help I can get!

      With the bars, I actually think the design could be improved. In my eyes it would be better if the bars didn’t shoot forward at the clamp, but went across like normal and then had a long reach to the hood from there.
      Why? Because this means the point where you rest your wrist on the bars for support is further back. The further back you can get the support point the easier it is to maintain a quality aero hoods position for longer and with less strain.
      Ultimately this is what Speeco did with their Breakaway bar, except they took things a bit too far!

      Cant say I agree about the lever tilt. I’ve used a pretty ‘ridiculous’ angle for a long time now and experience no drawbacks with braking/out of the saddle. Biggest benefit for me is the MASSIVE reduction in ulnar deviation in the wrists. Holding that horizontal forearm position with straight hoods was never sustainable for me prior to the tilt. May be some connections to my odd physiology but oh well…
