slowtwitch Posted March 17, 2009 Share Where can I find the rules re TT in SA i.e. saddle/ BB distance, saddle to handlebar drop, aspect ratio's, etc For Ironman there's no such rules and I ride very steep and very low in front, so I'm not sure it's legal for road TT's And please don't refer me to UCI. I don't want to read 500 pages for the 2 relevant paragraphs O yes and I can't read french Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
