cdr,
I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I only race TTs in the 10km-30km range. For example, one of my main races is pretty flat up until the hill at the turnaround. On the way down I'm looking for high speeds. This course is near the water, crosswinds are likely to be an issue. I have a powertap HED Belgium in the rear and I'll put the disc cover on that. Up front I've got my trusty Neuvation M28 which is 27mm deep, I believe. I've been wondering whether to go to 50mm up front in hopes of gaining an advantage in the above-mentioned conditions. Thoughts?
