2. The aero bar question. It will save you the most time (best bang for buck) and much better than aero wheels, but you have to deal with a new position, less control, and possible fit issues. Should you get the aero bars? Yes. Should you train on them quite a bit? Yes.
Maybe it's time to make a TT sticky?

In '86 or '87 I did 8.45 miles flat TT in 19:15 on a Peugeot with a spoke missing from the back wheel. I still remember the thump thump thump... probably helped me set a steady pace. I doubt I'll be able to get anywhere near that sort of result in 2008.
I'll look into aero bars. Thanks.
