Thanks; makes sense: not scientific but usefully anecdotal. Regarding Charlie's remark about position being a factor in speed: I find very clearly that when my bars are too high, or when I am riding on the flats, say, I generate less power. This may well be a purely individual idiosyncrasy, of course. Riding fixed as I do, I will routinely drop into the hooks when I round a bend into even a moderate headwind and, even, when I encounter a gradual incline: a lower position seems to give more power as well as doubtless being more aerodynamically efficient. Of course, on steep climbs I ride on the flats but shove myself way back on the saddle.
