Hey Eric, what setup would you recommend for a race on this course? I was thinking of the SL7/3.4s. I’m the most lightweight rider in my league/cat and hoping to make a difference on box hill but not sacrifice too much aero on the rest of the course.

Tron is the best choice probably. Or Venge with disc wheels.

I’d go Tron. Box Hill isn’t really long or steep enough for a lightweight rig to make enough difference to matter.

What if the race ends on top of Box Hill? 2,5 laps of the loop and 3 ascents of Box Hill..

I’m doing this as a iTT next week. Would you recommend a TT bike or my best other frame/wheel combo. Not got a Tron bike yet.

Reply to Tim Clark

Hi tim , your best TTbike is the best option as there is no drafting in ITT races usually.. and the climb is only 3 000m ..
