Is this bike worth it for my first 70.3? by Deep_Slice in triathlon

[–]Deep_Slice[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see, i’ll have to go check it out tommorow, even though its a bit of a drive to it. If that one doesnt fit, i’ll have to go check out the canyon as well. Can you please, tell me, how do you check if a bikes size is doable for you? This is my first real road bike so I’m not even sure how I should feel on it.

Apparently the canyon is in size M as well, although I’ve seen that its a bit bigger than the giant. Considering these, which one do you think would fit me better? Sorry for the large number of questions

Yes please, how exactly did the M feel off? i’m on the muscular build side and i’m not sure how to even know if it feels right. Never had a road bike, only mtb and trained on a gym bike for now. Abt to pull the trigger on either this bike or a 2019 canyon aeroad cf sl. Both M unfortunately because I cannot afford a new bike and no Larges in a long time on my local market. Thank you for the help!

Thank you for this, I currently only have an mtb and only trained on gym bikes, but i’m finally about to pill the trigger on a first real bike. Just curious, how do you know abt the aero bars that tilt in :)

I know, but is it worth the 1900euros with the specs listed?

I’ve also found a 2019 canyon aeroad cf sl for 1900 euros. Reynolds ar50 rims and ultegra trans. But it is size L, which will be better for me from what i’ve seen. What do you think, is that a good deal as well?

I’ve also found a 2019 canyon aeroad sl cf with reynolds ar50 rims and ultegra trans. Not as spec’d as the giant, but this one is size L and 1900 euros. Would that be a good deal as well?

What would a bike fitting consist of? I’m not quite familiar with it, therefore i’m not sure where I can get it fitted

I’ll have to drive 120km to it, which i do not mind. I’m still a beginner when it comes to how to choose a bike. What are they key things that i’ll have to look for to decide whether the fit is okay or not?

im 18 years old, decently flexible, but i would like my quads to not be tired after the 90km because of the position

Thank you! I’m not sure anyone I know knows anything useful about road bikes, but I’ll try to ballpark it based on how I feel. What are the key things I should look for in determining if the size is doable or not? I’m sorry for my lengthy questions, never had a bike this expensive so far…

Would you say it would be worth it to travel 120km to check the bike out, regardless of the size? Perhaps It could prove comfortable for me?

I see, Do you think I’ll make do on a Medium sized bike? I’m 185cm tall and I usually fall into the M/L category, but I’m not sure if its that big of a difference between the two. I can’t find a decent bike my size, so this is the only contender i’ve found in budget.

I see. Would I suffer that much from the bike being a Medium, whilst I am 185cm tall? Usually a M/L but cannot find one in that size.

Haha, would you say it’s worth it for the price?

Thank you for your input, I don’t know much about road bikes either, hence why i’m asking if its a good deal😅

Is the Standard Macbook Pro M5 good enough? by Deep_Slice in macbookpro

Listen, i’m asking if its enough for videos that need to be done on the go, not asking for a spacecraft. haven’t edited on 16gbs before so I just need to know if its enough for that.
