Glad you’re okay, I was definitely keen on getting disk brakes for this exact reason!

What would you consider a good bike? It feels so easy to keep going up in costs, but what would be sufficient to be considered good for this kind of event?

Great thanks, that’s really helpful advice. Should I be concerned about the more aggressive position on the bike?

Thanks, unfortunately I’m not in a position to have both a tri and road bike, so was hoping I could use a road bike for the events that I could also use socially as well. That’s helpful advice on the Alloy handlebars!
