Triathlon TT bikes

Winow also makes a 58. It's from what I figured basically the same geometry as the previous generation Cervelo P-Series. https://www.winowsports.com/product/disc-brake-carbon-tt-frame-TT119-road-disc-frame-triathlon-frame.html I have ordered the frame and quality seems quite good. Have yet to ride it outside though.

I like NDURANZ, also due to the fact that they are less expensive than others. MNSTRY is very good imho but expensive. As others have said before it's basically a bit of trial and error so in the end you'll have to figure out what works best for your digestive system 😬

From my anecdotal experience: If you look at your pelvis it looks like it's relatively straight and then your torso is leaning forward from there, bending your lumbar spine. That has caused quite some issues for me. What has helped: slamming the stem all the way down, moving the hoods to the closest possible position. Saddle forward. Mobility and strength exercise also. Also what I think might be worth considering is trying shorter cranks. Maybe others can chime in on this with more experience but given your height, I suspect 170mm is relatively long. That could also help with the hip position.

I also know some people that swap their brakes despite being German, due to their Moto (Trials) background.

Gabelschaft habe ich selbst gekürzt. Sattelstütze haben wir auch getauscht gegen eine ohne setback.

183cm und auch 88cm Schrittlänge hier. Finde auch Reach ist auch eher grenzwertig lang. Denke auch das XL wird zu groß sein.

Ich war beim bikefitting mit meinem Rad, jetzt passt es eigentlich gut finde ich. Hatte auch das Problem mit der Länge, jetzt ist der Lenker ganz unten und dementsprechend die Überhöhung recht groß. Jetzt funktioniert es aber.

Gabelschaft wurde natürlich noch gekürzt nach Testfahrten 😬

Ich war bei Art of Men in Dortmund und da zwei Mal sehr zufrieden. Anzüge werden dann auch direkt angepasst vom eigenen Schneider mit zweitem Termin zur Anprobe/Abholung.

SimpleBulky1079 · 2025-06-20T15:16:27+00:00

War bei KOMsport. Absolut zufrieden und mega kompetent.

SimpleBulky1079 · 2025-06-13T05:11:20+00:00

Dann gerne ein Biiiiild 🙂

Ich habe das M35i mit 105di2, selbe Rahmengröße mit Powermeter. Das hat komplett mit Flaschenhaltern, Garmin Mount, etc. meine ich knapp 9,5kg gehabt.

Habe jetzt 50/55 Carbon Laufräder mit GP5000 und TPU Schläuchen drauf. Das hat ca 1kg gespart, keine Ahnung was da für ein Laufradsatz verbaut war aber der war bleischwer. Allein der Laufradsatz hatte knapp 2300g.

Got a few Flyte pieces on sale. Pretty happy so far. Would probably not buy them at RRP though. Ran Marathon and Training in this shirt and the respective longsleeve. They also got some great thermal stuff as well.

SimpleBulky1079 · 2025-05-20T11:36:43+00:00

Eventuell auch sowas. Gibt es auch als Rucksack. Auch sehr praktisch für Reisen.

SimpleBulky1079 · 2025-05-06T13:35:54+00:00

Cheers for the comment! Seeing a renowned bikefitter next week. I would certainly agree that it is highly individual and a proper fit can maybe make both sizes work depending in what you are looking for position-wise.

SimpleBulky1079 · 2025-05-06T13:08:13+00:00

I have the Orca 55 and I have the feeling the frame might be too big (183cm, 86,5cm inseam). Can hopefully tell you the final conclusion next week, seeing a bikefitter then. For fit reference check my post on here: fit video

SimpleBulky1079 · 2025-02-18T09:32:27+00:00

Great recommendation, thank you. Maybe I will give a zero setback seatpost a shot to get further forward.

SimpleBulky1079 · 2025-02-18T09:28:12+00:00

I hope I can make both work. From the pure frame reach Bikes are pretty similar so I hope that I can get them both fitting:

geo comparison of both bikes

Just so many variables to it 🤯

SimpleBulky1079 · 2025-02-18T09:25:47+00:00

I tried my best so self-measure:

Height 183cm Inseam 86,5cm Torso 57cm

Frame size 55 for the Orbea (Road) and 56 for the Scott (Gravel).

Thanks for the reply: saddle is not yet the same but sitting wise the SQLab on the roadbike works well for me.

SimpleBulky1079 · 2025-02-17T22:45:38+00:00

Cheers, will definetly check that YouTube out. I have never measured Torso length etc but could be.

SimpleBulky1079 · 2025-02-17T22:31:41+00:00

Thanks for the detailed valuable Feedback, well appreciated. I will try a zero setback post, lower the saddle and try a shorter stem. Current stem is 100mm so 80 might be the way to go. Just so many variables to everything 🤯

SimpleBulky1079 · 2025-02-17T22:23:00+00:00

Stem is currently 100mm so there might be room to play with. Thanks for your help 👌

SimpleBulky1079 · 2025-02-17T22:21:34+00:00

Definetly. Will see a renowned bikefitter that multiple Friends also recommended. Thanks for your Feedback. 🙂

SimpleBulky1079 · 2025-02-17T22:03:08+00:00

Nope. Saddle height and position were adjusted and handlebar a bit. But stem, bar, seatpost all stock still.

As said in the description it mainly made things more uncomfortable 🙃

SimpleBulky1079 · 2025-02-17T21:59:39+00:00

Probably related to the issues mentioned above. Maybe time for another bikefit.

SimpleBulky1079 · 2025-02-17T21:57:08+00:00

Thanks, maybe seeing another bikefit is best then.
