Thanks. Just checked there. Nothing.

 

The one at Cyclelab looks promising. Pinarello Xiron with Ultegra for R40k

I phoned them about that bike, think they only had one L frame left which they wanted to sell to me, I'm a M so didn't bite. That was just over a month ago and they said that they won't be getting those ones again. So maybe just give them a call first.

I just have to get a bike, lose 20kgs and then Im in. By the way, where can I start looking for a time trial bike?

 

Also take a look at Complete Cyclist, they stock Spez and BH who both make very nice tri bikes.

Being a local, this course does not interest me one bit. If anything I think the race has been cheapened by the changes. Especially the bike route.

I'm sure they would have sorted all the logistics out as well but I can see it becoming a bit more congested down at the beachfront.

 

With the changes you have bikes going out and back on the same route as well as runners, there might be people going out for their 2nd loop on the bike while others are coming in on their 1st or second as well as the top half already on the run.

If 2015 is anything to go by I will be there with you....on the back loop if t were not for the water station I would not of seen another human being on my last lap.

thinking of changing 23 gatorskins to 25 gatorskins for this.any thoughts whether this should make a difference?

 

I rode 25mm GP4000 up front in 2014. Fantastic difference because you run at a much lower pressure. Considering 28mm for 2016.

 

Unfortunately my frame only allows 23mm at the rear.

prob a stupid question but I need an answer.how do you make sure that a back weel is centered in the middle?

as in when putting the wheel back after a puncture.i thought if the skewer sits nice and flush in the brackets on both sides it will be fine , but apparently not

dont make the skewer too tight and make sure the limit screws by the hangar ( if you have a tri bike ) are equally tightened. hope this helps

could something have gone wrong if I put it in a giant indoor trainer.i do some of my sessions on the idt
