Mongoose! Posted January 27, 2016 Share do they still accommodate taller people? I am 1.9m tall, and for me to fit my time trail bike in the same jig as a person that is 1.6m tall is insane. Referring to the 75cm (from centre of bb to end of shifter...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year they were quite lenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MullNcj Posted February 1, 2016 Share Does someone have the profile for the 22km loop for the road race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super J Posted February 1, 2016 Share hehehe....... there are a specific set of rules for riders over 190cm I think it is.... I know cos I am 2 meters and my fore arm length is way off their silly ******* jig. Gotty Hansen knows me well and even built me a tt rig once. I'm not 100 % certain but once a rider is over a certain length, then they don't look at the length of his cockpit reach, but the elbow angle....

carrera4s Posted February 11, 2016 Share Hi Guys, I am contemplating entering the Champs just for the experience. A few Noob questions, please: Can anyone enter? (I'm in M 40-45 category). As I understand anyone with CSA license (member) can enter, however, to qualify for colours one will need a Full Racing License. Correct? Can I enter the TT with a normal road bike? How much benefit will clip-on TT bars provide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much benefit will clip-on TT bars provide?Yes, anyone can enter. As far as I know, they don't hand out physical jerseys any longer but you will probably need a racing license to get colours, yes. You can use a road bike in the TT as far as I know. Clip on bars will make a significant difference in performance, although still not as good as a TT bike.

How much benefit will clip-on TT bars provide?NOT member only. Full racing license. (license card with your CSA racing license and applicable category on it.Why else would you want to compete if not for colours?But maybe you'll be able to enter and race but not get in contention for podium? You can enter the TT with a normal bike. As long as it still complies with all the specs. Clip on bars will give you about 1min over 20km easy.....

carrera4s Posted February 11, 2016 Share Thanks guys, "Why else would you want to compete if not for colours?But maybe you'll be able to enter and race but not get in contention for podium?" I don't think I will get in contention for podium this year, but maybe next year - need to train a bit more. . But just the experience will help next time round. "Clip on bars will make a significant difference in performance, although still not as good as a TT bike." Would love a TT bike, but cannot justify it at this stage, unless someone can donate one to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted February 11, 2016 Share You can enter and compete with only a CSA Membership. If you're good enough to compete for a podium, then chances are you have a full racing licence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitching up is sometimes 80% of the race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
