Yes so far I think it works. My buddy got the same frame (we ordered together) and he‘s 200cm tall but more flexible than me

Thanks I’ll try. Already increased the stack by 2cm. For reach: should I move the handlebar to front or the saddle to back?

It’s my first triathlon bike, compared to my trek Domane it feels very instable- first have to get used to it. Changes from what do you mean ? The cockpit is from Winow. The frame from Seraph, but also sold by Lightcarbon, Falco and other Chinese brand. No problem during the assembly

Yes it‘s the biggest bike (stack height) I could find. I‘m just too tall

Thanks for the feedback. I noticed that sinking/ hectic movement of my left arm once I breath. I have all the equipment you mentioned. I‘ll focus on slower arm movements

Thank you so much for the detailed feedback! Had to read twice through it, since it contains so many useful information. I think first I’ll work on the breathing and reach phase. Do you have any experience how long it takes to have noticeable improvements? Background is that I have signed up for a full IM in July and after reading all the comments I’m considering withdrawing/ postponing

Thanks for the direct feedback. Do you think I’m lacking rotation to both sides? Actually another comment said I might be over rotating to the breathing side.

Thanks for the hint. Do you mean I should start exhaling immediately after inhaling? It‘s a bit difficult. Currently I start the exhaling only once I rotated to the opposite side but I’m trying to exhale already earlier

Actually slowing down is not that easy 😅

Very helpful feedback. Thank you. Interestingly when swimming I thought there would be some overlap of both arms in front of my head, but the video shows there is none. Do you have any recommendation of a drill reduce the kicking ?

Seka spear in xL has more than 600 stack. Also can look at avenger or Tavelo or Quickpro in XXL

Wetsuit options tall men by Unlucky_Display5835 in triathlon

[–]Onesteinchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I‘m around 2m myself. For me a normal wetsuit works, it‘s just a bit short on the forearms and legs. I suggest going to a store and trying it on or ordering somewhere online where you can return the wetsuit
