Craai Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 Sarah True & Gomez's bikes had the water tank taped, Lucy Charles had the lid flapping in the wind, Tim Don had a bottle wedged between his saddle and the lid and looks like Currie had a rubber band on the downtube to hold the Bentobox in the frame? https://www.tririg.com/galleries.php?id=2018_10_Ironman_Hawaii_Race_Day&num=18 Wow... some real craftsmanship there... which begs the question; How the f didnt anyone pick this up in testing??
ScottCM Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 Kienle: "Lionel came from behind, at this moment I was gutted and ready to drop out, Lionel kept me in the race and said it's not over yet, and he did all the work on the front, I was mentally devastated, he basically just pulled me to the main group.."

So Lionel was strong on the bike, so did he lose it all on the run? Trying to find out WTF happened to him

Trying to find out WTF happened to him He overbiked-look at his numbers that ScottC-M posted and the comments by Shaper. He then did the second slowest run i think of the pro's.

dsw Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 I see the Astana boss did the 12th fastest bike split overall (4 hours 18 minutes). Wonder how Lance would have done

shaper Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 IMO cheaters should not be allowed to compete.Him and Jalabert
Chris_ Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 What is the the testing policy at IM events? just out of interest. Do they test all events? just champs?
_David_ Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 Not sure how I feel about these MORF bars on Antony Costes bike. http://www.morf-tech.com
shaper Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 Am sure the Morf bars save weight, but don't think I would be comfortable on them.... and they are not cheap either!
EmJayZA Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 Not sure how I feel about these MORF bars on Antony Costes bike. http://www.morf-tech.com That positioning looks uncomfortable. I can't imagine hanging onto the bars like that for 90km, never mind 180km. They must have tested this set up in a wind tunnel and found it is slightly faster. Looks very odd. The bar concept looks very cool. I would be a little concerned about safety and reliability of moving parts on the front end of my bike.
