Hi,
what would be the best bike/wheels choice for this in a race please. Still the Tron? thanks a lot!
Unless you have the Zipp 858/Super 9 wheel combo, and pair this with one of the fastest frames (such as Specialised Venge S Works) then the Tron bike will be your best bet. The Zipp 858/Super 9 and Venge S-Works would be marginally quicker though.
Does anyone know why BANNERS AND LEADERBOARDS includes ‘Fox Hill KOM’ (which is the reverse side of Box Hill and never climbed – only descended)? Should it say, ‘Box Hill KOM’?
