IMO, I would not focus on wattage per se in self evaluation on the TT bike. Speed is where the action is. Power is your currency to buy speed but there is a cost factor as well as mental focus. How well do you hold a position over time with a perfectly turtled head? Also, your current TT helmet is pretty fast. I tested it a couple of years ago at Velo Sports Center aero testing. It is fast because it is small i.e. lower frontal area.

However, there could be gains with an new Giro or others.
I was typing too quickly, yes it is .004 for crr.

I guess you are right in a way. I need to be sure to spend my watts wisely. There is a local TT Wednesday taking photos while you suffer to get positioning pics while actually racing. That’ll be good to know.

I got my new rim glue in, tires won’t make it in time for Wednesday.

Tired of running a Sprinter rear tire.
