Definitely brutally light, but does it not have a power meter?
30x25 doesnt appear that efficient of a gearing on an 11% climb.
Lastly, probably a grippier rear tire would have been faster...

Yes, most. If you don't think the remaining $200-500 matters, thats fine, but some people care.FlatlandClimber wrote: ↑Mon Nov 08, 2021 8:54 amThe biggest part of the money goes to Specialized and the retailer you buy it from, so you can rest assured, that America gets to spend it on a new fighter jet or something.

Probably could be using a more efficient gear but I seem to remember her saying that the cassette was just what she uses on the standard set up so a slight cost saving. She was running a crank based PM on the other sideFlatlandClimber wrote: ↑Mon Nov 08, 2021 4:41 pmDefinitely brutally light, but does it not have a power meter?

I understand these racers aren't "Money no object". However, I don't know how sensible it is to spend 5 grand on a disc brake frame and set it up with ultra high end components, that only make sense for this specific discipline, to then "skimp" on the cassette.
Tiny chainring + tiny cog + the bad chainline of 1x with being forced to almost exclusively use the outer most ring + being forced to ride a pretty low cadence has to cost *BIG* watts.
According to Strava, the segment is 900m Long with 13% average. Her finish time was 4:13. Around 12.9kph average.
My guesstimation is, something like an 7.5kg Open Up with GRX 610 46/30 11-34 or SRAM Force WIDE 43/30 10-36 and a all season low pressure rear tire would not have been a slower option...
Still love a crazy light Aethos though.

Okay, nevermind what I said about chainline then. Still a little confusing to prioritize things in this way.

Not a huge amount really. Don't think there is more than 1Watt in there.
The chainline would have really been a much bigger factor. I tend to forget these bike are modified to a greater degree than I would want to go.
The biggest gain potentials I see are:
- larger cogs
- wider grippier rear tire.
With the climb being wet that day, and over 15% average for 600 of its 900 total meters in length, traction is a big factor. Obviously a wider rear tire can help there. However, the rather "big" gear of 30/25 will force the rider out of the saddle more frequently or force you into an unnaturally low seated cadence. Getting out of the saddle on such a climb can be problematic. Standing pedaling against the high inertia on a climb means you'll pedal at high torque, so tire slippage is very likely.
I don't even know if that was a problem of hers, just heard that several people that day struggled with that, and that the winner had a Pirelli 4S rear tire.
Probably enough off topic.

Because you are sensible and understand the whole system. Many riders add custom modifications to bikes in the belief they are making it better. In many cases they are making things worse. It is better to take simple pragmatic steps such as the rear tire and gearing choice you suggested. These will make much better improvements than larger jockey wheels or missing cogs on the cassette.FlatlandClimber wrote: ↑Tue Nov 09, 2021 3:44 pmThe chainline would have really been a much bigger factor.

Sometimes it's not what matters but what you think that matters. It's amazing what people can do when they have to. Kids under the car, no problem, I will lift the car off the kid. Could they do it again, no.
So if you know you have the bestest of the best, lightest of the light, then it's possible that your brain could operate in a way to make the win happen.
Many times, it's just a mental thing. She placed well.

By "much bigger factor" how much do you think it is?FlatlandClimber wrote: ↑Tue Nov 09, 2021 3:44 pmNot a huge amount really. Don't think there is more than 1Watt in there.

Look at the table for 5 cog misalignment, which is the max misalignment on 11sp 1x. It suggests 1.4W:
https://ride.diamondback.com/friction-p ... rivetrains
Both of these factors are overblown. 1W for small cogs and 1.5W for cross-chaining, resulting in 2.5W difference between best-case and worst-case.
Now multiply that 2.5W by the amount of time you spend in that cross-chained 11t position (1 - 10%?) to get average losses for the ride (0.02 - 0.2W?). These are so miniscule I don't even know why it's a topic at all. Intuition fails us here, I guess.
