I posted on here trying to get some input on disc wheels to see if they might help me obtain my goal and the majority of the responses were on the use of an aero helmet in disbelief or doubt. Theory and research are helpful along with formula's for success (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...ead-click-here) but experiences with disc wheels was what I was interested in.... For those who doubt the 2 mile and hour improvement, do not know what to tell you. The results with the helmet were both valid and reliable.. I appreciate the responses that gave their thoughts on the disc wheels.. Also, on a side note - I have learned that since making the original post not to post times and data information and the responses should not be as critical.
That's the 41 (Road Cycling Forum) my friend...
As both a cyclist and bodybuilder/powerlifter I can appreciate your post.
To put it in different terms it is like a guy saying he squatted 70 pounds more because he took a pre-workout drink... There is without question a placebo effect to what degree, no idea.

If you want a disc wheel get one, it may help but ultimately time, training, structure and focus will win you a tt.
Until you know for sure a Wheelbuilder disc cover will serve you fine.
