We were looking at whether the use of aerobars would be allowed in the time trial, but some people said that it was allowed, some people said that it was not allowed, and we did not find any rules to prohibit it. Is it allowed to be used?
Rule 1I5 states that all riders under the age of 14 are limited to mass-start bicycles and that mass-start bicycles defined by rule 1I1g exclude aerobars. Therefore, it seems that you will have to wait until next year.
Aero helmets are fully functional and can be used with any fast wheels you can borrow. The only rule is that there should be at least 16 spokes. Not the Hed 3 or the full disk.
Our junior ran Church Creek the other day and beat several others by 30 seconds. Definitely thanks to the TT helmet and the Zipp 404 Firecrest wheel.
Go to the USA cycling site, download the rule book and read it. If you know the rules, you can avoid troubles and use the rules to your advantage.
I am surprised that there are so many people, including adults, who have never read the rules book.
Hey, really? Junior is disqualified every season for breaking the rules in several races. The Dominion riders were also disqualified in the bike jam due to a start violation. You have to know the rules literally perfectly.

Take it easy, he’s a junior and he asked for himself. If you go to the starting line of a Category 5 race and ask the rider who read the rulebook, he will say that about half of the riders read it. And that comes after I told them that reading was mandatory (at a Category 5 workshop I organized). Judging by a few questions, most of them only skimmed through the rulebook.
As a junior, I just looked through the rules book. Luckily, I had a good friend (also junior) who showed me my lack of knowledge by asking me a few questions.
There are many rules specific to Junior. Junior players should understand them completely. It is necessary to be particularly familiar with the differences in the regulations of each age group.
Cool, maybe we’ll see you at Tyson’s tomorrow. Big field.
