johnjjj said:trek, cannondale etc. have all experimented with aero tubes on road bikes and the bottom line is they can't make one that rides well. as you noticed the pros who can use the aero felts or cervelos choose not to almost all the time. it is only in a rare situation that it would even help, i.e. all day break. sitting behind another rider the aero advantage is nil and all you got is a bad ride. all marketing.

I have seen about one photo of a garmin rider on the felt, I'm not even sure they used these in the ITT at the giro. Sastre doesn't seem big on his. what about the ridleys or kestrels?
