VORTEQ SKINSUIT
This is the same skinsuit (as the Hour record] but a different colour. It was one of the prototype ones, says Bigham. With Vorteq and how they function you basically go through a lot of different versions to test different patterns, materials and seam positions. Because I'm riding as a British Cycling member rather than a team member it's a branded suit rather than a team suit.
ISMPN 3.1 SADDLE
The split-nose saddle as favoured by time triallists. The 3.1 version has a revised shape and additional padding compared to the 3.0 - but still allows maximum power output
FFWD DISC WHEELS AND VITTORIA PISTA TUBULARS
The FFWD disc wheels are tried and tested, and shod with 23mm Vittoria Pista tubs front and rear. Bigham is using a ViewSpeed S4 skewer in the front disc, which is faster than a track hub with an angular and unaerodynamic nut
KASK MISTRAL HELMET
The Kask helmet is faster for Bigham than the iconic POC Tempor that he formerly used
WATTSHOP BARS
Bigham is running a WattShop Pentaxia Olympic base bar with WattShop Anemoi extensions - his own design. The same cockpit is available to paying customers for £8,500.
