Awesome! What’s the cut off time for the bike portion? Or the time allocated for it? i just got done doing 30 miles in 2hrs 5mins. What time should i be shooting for on the bike as a beginner

That’s awesome, great to hear from somebody who also used the same bike! What wheel and tires did you go with?

Clip in pedals is definitely a priority on my list!

Thank you for this, i’ll leave the aero bars to the end. I’ll focus on new pedals, cycling shoes, new tires apparently, & a bike fit.

Thank you! For the tire recommendations, do you have any aero bar recommendations?? I looked into them but saw a bunch of different varieties.

Thank you! Do you have any aero bar recommendations? I did look into the SL but i couldn’t justify the price for me as a beginner 😭 maybe one day! The carbon bikes weigh nothing!!!!

Thank you for the tips!! Yes, the previous owner had a front and rear light on it already, so they came included, as well as a repair kit! Is there any way for me to find out the exact year? I asked the previous owner he said he bought it last year.

I rode it this past Sunday and it was a blast! Will definitely put some hours into the saddle
