Thanks for the infos Eric and great work!

Wondering about the comparision Aethos vs Dogma (similar to Canyon Aero 24, right?) on same wheels: Difference at Alpe du Zwift is about 8-9s slowier on the Dogma/Aero24 but Keith Hill is only 225m, so roughly 1/4 of ADZ. Can the Aethos really win these 4.5s on a way shorter climb?

On the other hand, wheel difference on Dogma is just 1.6s between Enve 7.8 and Roval, which is 9s difference on ADZ, so seems reasonable / expectable from your previous wheel test charts for that shorter climb.

You also stated that wheels often effect time savings more than frames, which is the opposite on Keith Hill in your test. Not saying it’s wrong, just asking if you are sure about the test results above?

This isn’t a points race, it might as well be a scratch race

According to Zwifterbikes you earn 3 seconds on KOM but lose 44 seconds on the whole route with your bike choice. Maybe not worth it. A better choice could be the aethos with ARC 1100 Dicut 62. The best bikes, I think, are the Tron or Dogma with disc.

Recon notes were originally incorrectly just the segments, the document has now been corrected. The link above is still correct (always was, just I had duplicated the wrong document)

Is my assumption correct that draft and a higher wkg makes the difference between climb setup and aero setup on the KOM smaller? Riding the whole race on a climb setup is gonna cost some serious watts on the biggest part of the course

Knowing my power curve puts me in the top 3 up keith hill i cant decide if i should go all out for 10mins or let others set the pace until the steeps. Looks like ill be running aethos with the 1100 62mm

Big difference in terms of bike and wheel choices this week!! Have you tested the aethos with enve 7.8. It could be an interesting choice because it would surely be significantly faster on the rest of the course and the penalty up keith hill may be under 2 secs. Thoughts?
