Bike Brand vs. Ironman Split Can't Post

Has anyone posted Hawaii Ironman bike splits versus bike time per age group? Can I made the assumption that would give you the fastest frame setup? Getting bored after 3rd foot surgery!

No you can not at all assume that ANY brand is at all faster than any other brand. Period. No one in real life gives a rats ass as to what a wind tunnel has to say...but, if you like to read those results I would ask you to also refer to bloody egg yolks and blown tea leaves. At the end of the day the fastest splits will be made by those who are the most fit, and add a tad of luck to that as pertaining to flats and technical issues....


.....oh, and I hear that you need dimples more than anything...lots and lots of dimples.

f.k.a - Record9, Record9ti Record10, Record10ti, Record10Carbon, but not SuperRecord11 as there are no bar ends.

That's why cellulite will always be faster than lean muscle mass, see the fatass training partner thread for reference.

Dimples in your chin and cheeks help more because they are on the leading edge.
