Some interesting additions to the Shimano PRO range today with many new components for pro-triathletes, or aspiring pro’s, including the Missile Evo carbon time trial range: aerobars, clip-on bars, extensions and a base bar, along with a carbon stem and arm rests.
The PRO disc wheels and 3-spoke and track wheels took my particular fancy. As I say in the title…drool !!
The generally accepted wisdom is that the fastest combo for triathletes is the rear disc and a spoked front wheel. Many other factors come into consideration of course.
