Lets pretend the hour record rules have been relaxed, you could add/change one thing on Merckx's 1972/ boardman's 2000 hour record bike or equipment, what would it be?

A MotoGP engine and 198cc more than the MotoGP rules allow!? That would be tantamount to cheating....

If by aero bars you mean tri bars then they get the vote.
If not, then disc wheel

Tri-bars make a 10% improvement. Everything else is minuscule in comparison.

Speaking of chocolate Very Happy

Caroline my sweet Cool

Me mam brought me over to England when I was only 4 ( Legro don't go there! Twisted Evil ) to visit the family.

Me Gran used to take me round to the shops and show off her grandson to the ladies. So it was me Gran who got me all hooked on Peppermint Aero . That was long before they had orange. Rolling Eyes

Just goes to show that we had Aero ages before this group of racers had aero. Embarassed
