Certainly not a lot, but enough to give a kid an advantage over those that knew less. I've been posting about it sine 2009 (I think). You sound like you were far more dominant in your categories. My kid's racing was very close and lots of little things made a difference. It was always a combo of the rider and those supporting the rider - the training, logistics, equipment and balance against other important things. The developing adolescents / teens were certainly enough variables, but the non riding support teams around the riders made it even more interesting to me. Equipment selection was a large part of that.
