    Trouble is itaa, putting TT bars on your mtb will mark you out as 'different' . . . dare I say it, a bit of a loon.
    Try telling that to this fella:

    541 miles in 24 hours on a modified MTB frame is not bad.

    hehe well perhaps that's the exception proving the rule. :D

    I dont understand why people are giving him crap

    You will work harder and get gains

    You can vary equipment and get gains

    I want both. If his data is correct it can be helpful. I changed my water bottle setup on my TT bike to be more aero. Say it gives you a 60 bp improvement in speed. In a half ironman that cam be 2 to 3-minutes.

    People dont want that?

    Mountain biking is a little different, being chased downhill by a bull means you can rapidly accelerate to speeds in excess of 40 mph. This may be different on road.
    No difference, pretty much the same. :wink:
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    I've spent a fortune on bike stuff but realise the thing that makes me faster every time is riding more .
