Ostrich Posted July 5, 2013 Share Thats an interesting point. Which reminds me why you should never lend your wetsuit outI think that we should remove #35, unless you are leading the race...

Red Zone Posted July 5, 2013 Share Don't let someone on a Raleigh with clip on bars (or just drop bars) pass you on your P5, Slice or Plasma. Heaven help you if you are rocking an aero lid and you get smoked Vinnydabutcher 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/128017-unwritten-triathlon-rules/page/3/#findComment-1980113 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeepdude Posted July 5, 2013 Share Don't let someone on a Raleigh with clip on bars (or just drop bars) pass you on your P5, Slice or Plasma. Heaven help you if you are rocking an aero lid and you get smokedhahaha that sounds familiar , in 2008 i did my first longer distance tri at midlands triathlon. I was on a Alu Schwinn fastback with 8 speed sora and clip on bars. Think i just missed swim cut off... One of the laaaaaassst bikes. I was passing TT bikes left right and center , had never seen proper tt bikes before. Needless to say the owner of a Cervelo soloist WAS not impressed when i came from behind and with all sincerity complimented his ride before passing him. It was the first time i had seen a AERO seatpost EVER! I thought it was so coool. (I had been a mtb'er for 8 years before living in a small town) Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/128017-unwritten-triathlon-rules/page/3/#findComment-1980148 Share on other sites More sharing options...
