How much of a difference can you tell fairing vs no fairing? I don't think I am completely understanding what you are saying about the faring size.

It's a little blurry, but hopefully it will do. Its pretty close to my usual posture when I am actually riding, I find if I am in the dropouts while pedalling my lower back starts to get uncomfortable.


I find myself thinking like this when I go down a hill I scrunch down just about as far as possible "such a low power requirement, I need every little bit possible". Probably deserves a post in the YKYAEM Thread.

I will probably try a few fairings, but I don't want to go all out fairings on it. Probably end up with something similar to your aerobar set up, Nose and back piece. I usually ride on the tops of my bars and only go into the dropouts when I'm going down a hill.
