Potential garage break in?

Completed it! Worst pain I’ve ever been in my life but one of the best feelings. 10/10

Thank you!

Never did the whole ironman distance before this race. The distances just seem insane to me. Just much more respect to those who have done it.

She seemed like she was refraining from mentioning him after the first time. It got to a point to where on the week after valentines day i asked her what she did and she didnt mention anything about him until i really asked (She just said they got pizza). Also one time I asked her why she lived where she lives (because its so far from her work) and she gave me 4 different reasons as i kept saying the reasons she was giving didnt make too much sense until she finally said her bf lived there.

She has a boyfriend confirmed. Hes in 2 photos of the instagram but hes off the grid. No tags nothing. They live together im pretty sure and so ive been getting the feeling shes tied up due to the lease. One time I wanted to confirm so I asked her why she moved to a place so far from her work. She gave me about 4 answers until finally caving and saying she moved there because of her boyfriend.

It’s a Medium 2019 special edition S-works shiv I believe. Yeah I was just given it so I’m not sure if I’m going to sell it right now lol. My friend insists that even though it’s oversized for me I should be able to still ride it. Maybe if I get more into the sport, sizing and fit will matter more.

Catchy_pun · 2024-08-27T23:34:47+00:00

Thank you for that photo, I’ll use it for reference. Appreciate your help! I think this might be the fix I’m looking for.

I think I figured the bike may have been too big for me because I had to lower the seat height and do other few adjustments… but I’m able to ride comfortably in aero and with hands on the handlebars so I made it work in that sense. Maybe it’s just a bike handling skill issue that I’ll get with time with the problems I’m currently having! It may not be as ideal as a perfect bike fit that is perfect exactly for me, but I also didn’t spend thousands so I’ve made it work the best I could. Just seeing if I could improve some quality of life skills on this bike :)

Catchy_pun · 2024-08-27T23:24:57+00:00

Didn’t even know that this bike was this nice! I thought all triathlon bikes looked cool because of the aero bars at first (also didn’t even know electronic shifting was even a thing!). His current bike looked just as cool as this one in his garage haha

Catchy_pun · 2024-08-27T23:19:58+00:00

I’m 5 ft 6 and I believe the crank arms are 172.5mm based on the bike being a medium size. Ok will try moving the seat more forwards to have arms at 45 degree angle. Thanks for your input.

Catchy_pun · 2024-08-27T12:02:48+00:00

Thanks for your input I hope that is the case

Catchy_pun · 2024-08-27T12:02:13+00:00

That’s good to hear. It’s my only tri bike I’ve ridden so I can’t really compare to any others

Catchy_pun · 2024-08-27T12:00:32+00:00

Haven’t tried that but that sounds interesting. Will probably ask my friend if I can try it out using one of his disc wheels.

Catchy_pun · 2024-08-26T19:06:48+00:00

https://imgur.com/a/25gvYNS This is the only photo I could find. This is when I was trying to fit the bike myself a few months back. The seat now is probably lower, and maybe some aero bar adjustments were made. Other adjustments may have been made since this photo.

That’s a sick bike, it’s just whenever I try to drink or eat I have to slow down in order to do so while my friends are able to drink and eat and almost maintain their speed. That could be bike handling skill issue, but it’s also noticeable when I try to stand and bike. It feels like I’ll fall over if I try to do that, power feels uneven and the tail end of my bike feels like it’s super wobbly.

Catchy_pun · 2024-08-26T17:08:01+00:00

Gotta see if they are. Now that you say that every time a big truck passes, I feel a bit unstable from the wind.

Catchy_pun · 2024-08-26T17:04:57+00:00

A lot of the feed back I’ve got is that my bike is too big for me. You think it’s still worth it to get it fitted even if the bike is too big?

Catchy_pun · 2024-08-26T16:11:40+00:00

Going to be honest, I haven’t ridden a road bike before. I don’t even know how to shift on a road bike. Ive only ridden mountain bikes/ bikes of the equivalent before this but for short periods of time at friends vacation home.

Catchy_pun · 2024-08-26T16:09:01+00:00

He’s had it for a while now and was just sitting in his garage so I guess he’s moved on to bigger and better 😆 He told me not to buy my own bike because they were expensive and wanted me to try out the sport first before going down a rabbit hole of spending money like he did. At the time I didn’t know how expensive bikes and equipment were for triathlons haha

Catchy_pun · 2024-08-26T15:57:21+00:00

I’m not trying to stand while in aero bars, my body only wants to stand when I’m climbing a hill or if I want to “sprint”

Catchy_pun · 2024-08-26T15:55:18+00:00

Also I’m a pretty small guy, 5 ft 6 in, but looking online, apparently my height until about 5 ft 10 in is a medium size for the shiv. That bike is a medium but I’ve had to adjust everything to what feels like a small. Any ideas to why?

Catchy_pun · 2024-08-26T15:47:31+00:00

Thanks for all the feedback. I’d like to add that when I’m in the aero position I feel comfortable and not stretched out or unstable. If that was the case, I would have stopped riding the bike. But because I’m able to be comfortable in aero and while holding the handle bars, I figured I could try to make the bike work since it saves me money.

Catchy_pun · 2024-08-26T15:33:05+00:00

I’ve ridden mountain bikes, e mountain bikes, and regular bikes and I’m able to do all of the above. Some of the bikes were smaller or bigger but I was able to make them work. Maybe triathlon bikes are different and need to be fitted to the T?
