    Wind drag change: standard riding vs aerobar/TT position

    I'm wondering if anyone can link some figures explaining the aerodynamic/power advantage from riding in a time trial bike and being on aerobars and in the most tucked / aero position, versus your standard riding position on a competitive road bike that isn't a timetrial bike.

    I also have other older documents field testing of various positions and bikes, but you need to be able to read German...

    Excellent Dalai! Thanks for posting the link.

    Now when I will get in my second ride on the TT bike this afternoon I will be thinking of the need to invest in that aero helmet.
