USAC could significantly lower the cost barriers to entry by banning carbon wheels and TT bikes in Cat 5 and Cat 4 fields. I got a good laugh on Saturday seeing not one but two S-Works Venges with deep-dish ENVEs/Zipps lined up at the start for the Cat 4 field in Central Park.
I don't get this. The only thing you NEED to enter a race is a license, helmet, and a bike.
