In this episode of Performance Process, we’re joined by Barnaby Garood of AeroSensor to dive deeper into the world of aero testing at home with the AeroSensor drag measurement system. Barnaby, a former F1 aerodynamicist, shares insights on how the AeroSensor brings aero testing to the everyday rider’s everyday roads, helping cyclists of all levels unlock real performance gains without the hefty price tag of traditional lab testing.
From setup and calibration to course selection, interpreting yaw angles, and managing real-world variables, Barnaby breaks down the practicalities of aero testing — what works, what doesn’t, and how to get meaningful data from your efforts.
The conversation also touches on the evolution of aero testing, why real-world conditions might be more valuable than controlled lab settings, and why repeatability is king when it comes to finding those elusive aero gains. Whether you’re chasing Strava PBs, eyeing a faster time trial, or simply curious about aero optimisation, this episode delivers practical advice you can put to use straight away.
