The TT position was not made for comfort. It can be more comfortable with the correct saddle & setup, but will never be comfortable. Especially if you are going to be in that position for many hours...
A lot of the guys use proper riding pants for the bike and change into running pants for the run. the xtra 30 seconds to get out of your bibs and into running pants is insignificant on a 12+ hour day.
+1 for the door frame and rolling will smooth out your pedal strokes. I roll once a week for an hour and my pedalling efficiency is much better. In my mind there is no better way to train indoors.
1st time I've seen this. The "drop off" will create the same effect as the Adamo design. They probably did that to not transgress the Adamo patent. But for that price I'd go for the tried and tested and well loved Adamo.
@snafu, I also pondered the Adamo issue for quite a while and then got a great deal on the Adamo Road saddle. I'm using it for TT & road. I will never ride another saddle ever again. The initial investment is large, but your perinial nerve will thank you!
Hi All, We're going to Hibberdene for a week or so. Are their any routes you can suggest to use / avoid for road biking? (I'm looking for a nice +- 80km route) Thanks.
The sprint distance is doable on little training, so don't psych yourself out on this. Just go and enjoy it. You'll probably not place in the top 10, so nobody will worry about your time
My personal opinion, go with clinchers - a breeze to fix, should you puncture. And the performance gains for us mortals are negligible, except if you are going for a sub 9 IM!
Hi Trinut, Where abouts are you located? Troisport in Jhb can do a fitting for you at around R400. Best to have a good setup done 1st time round, later, when you are more skilled, you can DIY.
+1 for the tri shorts. That't the way to go. Check out www.capemulti.coza - they have New Balance Tri shorts for under R400. They are as good as the rest at a very low price
