They certainly do bring out any issues that might be lurking under the surface - you get twinges in places you never knew existed. And you sure do look for the rough spots to avoid them, not that you can see much of anything in that position. When I was just getting accustomed to the TT bike, I ran over a healthy sized tree branch on the MUP, never seeing it until it was a foot in front of my wheel.
