travisza Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 The most comfortable ones? S-bend can be a bit aggressive if you arent used to aero (cant hurt the wrists) Many people favour ski bend when starting. As for which to get? Why the sexiest carbon ones you can find obviouslySorry wrong forum but I dont know how to move the post
Bodhi Posted June 28, 2013 Author Posted June 28, 2013 If you don't mind, I started a new thread at https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/127810-rookie-triathlete-20-what-clip-on-tt-bars-for-road-bike/ to ask the question, what clip-on TT bars to get if you decide on a road bike for triathlons? Pfft! Hijacking my post! No worries mate, would probably have been my next question.
gummibear Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 Do you need a TT bike?...probably not...unless the 6 minute saving will help you on to the podium.TT bikes look so fast even when they just standing Try and do a few rides on a TT bike and then make up your mind. http://www.slowtwitch.com/articles/images/5/36945-large_shivtri1.jpg Bodhi 1

Thanks gummi, seems a road bike is the way to go for now. Any TT bike will be too much bike for me at this stage, it seems. As you said, ride them and see.
