I rode a 51 Cervelo P2 at the moment. Long and Low geometry.

I've ordered a small in the Speedmax.

After knee surgery in February I've been putting some time on the tt rig. My position isn't totally dialed as I feel like I can go a smidge lower with the bars and I need a new helmet, I can't see anything when my head is lower and where it needs to be. The top picture is from Nationals this past weekend. It started on a climb with about a 5% average gradient for approx. 1k, that pic is on the climb so I'm looking up and I'm scooted back a bit. Aside from the fit, the Garneau is surprisingly nice. It's not the most aero frame out their but it's been getting the job done very nicely.

Don't listen to people on this forum, none of them know anything about your bike or your fit

Why do you think you need a new helmet? Have you tested yours against others? I know quite a few people who have tested thoroughly and ended up with the Catlike (your results may vary).

No, no testing. It sits flush against my back but when I keep my head down and near my hands, I can't see but a couple feet in front of me. And the visor sits down past my nose, so when I blow a snot rocket it gets all in the visor. Or if I need a drink it's a bit awkward.

Speedmax looks great, is the position UCI legal?

Time trials in England and Wales are run by the CTT which have different rules than the UCI.

Thanks NiFTY. As grill has said, a lot of our events aren't governed by the UCI, but when I do ride the handful of UCI TT's here I'll reset the position.

Currently looks something like this.
Going for a fitting next Monday.
USE 50 degree extensions (reversed) to be fitted also.

Saddle looks like a Sitero Pro and I believe that's a Lezyne light coming out the back.
