Article 1:

the difference between a regular road bike and a “Aero Road Bike” is 6 watts
Article 2:

Your bike accounts for around 20 percent of the aerodynamic drag that you encounter, the rest is down to your shape and your frontal area
An aero helmet can be a cost-effective upgrade compared to, say, an aero-tubed frame.
Helmet: Kask Bambino

Saving (head up/head down), in watts, compared to Giro Aeon: 32/32
Just so we are clear, 32 is 5.3 times larger than six.

If you find me annoying, why do you address me then? You could have ignored my post just as you ignore the 'improve the engine' ones, or like I choose to not reply to most of your posts, unless addressed specifically at me, of course.
