The most aero bikes may be far too heavy for the KQOM. D.eadpool has a proper question given the name of the route has the word “rolling”. the quickest all rounder that you have with light wheels for roads is the best bet. This is short, but sneaky. Ignore Steven who clearly is having a rough life.

Deadpool, I always go with Scott Addict and DT Swiss non-disc on this route as the times I need the most help is on the climbs and rollers when people are pushing the hardest. Plus this route finishes on the KOM climb. This setup is still quite aero but much lighter than the top aero setups.

Ugh! Any possible fix for that??

And of course, much love to all you guys for all you do – love ZI! Well, except for that one part I mention above. 🙂

Just click “2D” in the upper right hand corner

LOL. Why do think it should make sense?

I think they wanted the longer lead in so that you can do a 1 lap race at 14km — Which is better than 9 or 10km.

Why not turn out of the pens going the other direction? seems to make so much more sense.

Then it’d be just a continuation of the loop for the first lap and beyond similar to how lead-ins work for pretty much every other course. I think the lead-in might actually be a bit shorter (though more climbing) if they did it the way I describe (turn right out of the pens rather than left)

I know that there are no serious climbs (and lots of time spent descending down the rolling hills), but going with my most aero setup and disk wheels feels so draggy for all the little accelerations that these constant changes in pitch require. I’m going to try it again with the Tron and see if that feels more responsive to me.
