Few things in cycling are more intimidating than standing at the start line of a time trial. While road racing and crit racing carry a bit of tactical unpredictability to them, time trials are the exact opposite: It takes a strong mind to embrace their sustained spell of slow-drip agony. A friend of ours refers to it as "crawling into the pain cave", and he's exactly right -- it's a black, horrible place. Having the courage to show up is half the battle, and the other half is ignoring all the fantastic mid-race reasons (#1 "Bike racing is stupid, I should spend more time with my kids." #2 "Bike racing is stupid I should spend more time at work." #3 "Bike racing is stupid I should play golf instead", etc, etc, etc) to ease off. If you're strong enough to resist the temptation to blow off time trials and if you're strong enough to race it as flat-out as your body can bear -- well, then you're one hell of a manly man. And given that level of commitment, you owe it to yourself to race on one hell of a manly TT rig.
