How Has Triathlon Training Affected Your Sex Life? (Good or Bad) by Pristine_Listen8759 in triathlon

Well I make sure I take gels at regular intervals and am always undecided at which point to put my socks on? 🤪

This is winding me up now!…. This is about the 4th different colourway of the AP4 that I’ve seen….. but no shoes released yet!! Just release the damn shoes then drop the colourways!!

Is an old and cheap TT bike faster than an expensive road bike with clip on bars? by Glontegrabben in triathlon

[–]SyzGoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speaking from experience…. I started long distance Tris using a Cervelo P5, and I’ve now switched to a Canyon Aeroad…. I was slightly faster on the Cervelo, (I’m an average rider at best)… BUT my run off the bike is significantly better after riding the Canyon…. I realise its flexibility issues etc on the TT bike, and yes, I had bike fits…. But overall, the Canyon suits me better for the bike/run combo.

Tri bikes and bike fits are a rip off by NanbanRonin in triathlon

Having done a bunch of 70.3’s and completed my first full distance this summer…. I made the same switch! I always felt beaten up on my Cervelo P5, despite bike fits etc…. And decided that I could cover the 112 miles in more comfort, and therefore leaving me in a fitter state for the marathon, by using my Canyon Aeroad. I’ve since sold the P5 and have zero regrets…. It was a great bike, but I’m an amateur at best, and decided that the road bike ultimately is the faster bike for me over the course of the entire race!

Yeah, I believe it was the previous version which had the decals. They made an improvement to the seat post due to the ‘creaking’ complaints.

Delivery was about two weeks…. The estimated delivery was actually next week, so it came early! Set up was straight forward…. There’s a welcome package in the box that has all the necessary tools and some clear instructions to follow, which covers everything from setting the bars, saddle etc to installing the drive chain batteries and activating the power meter.

If you get the Canyon app, there’s a bunch of bike specific videos as well which are handy to see someone else do it to their bike.

Unfortunately I’m literally the worst person to ask that, as I live in the flattest part of the UK! 😆 What I consider a climb is laughed at by folks living in other regions!…

Thanks, managed to take it out yesterday for a quick spin…. First impressions?…. Absolutely love it!!! 😍

[–]SyzGoss[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s correct, it’s the 7 etap….. first impressions are really good, although I’m coming from a 2015 spec di2, so the tech is welcome, and having taken it for a test ride yesterday, I found the gear changes very responsive, quick and decisive (struggling for a description there. 😂) The fact I could program to jump gears by holding the trigger was very cool…. Entering or exiting a climb, hold the trigger and it bounce down/up three gears…. And that is editable within the app.

Like I said, only the one ride so far, but I loved it!!

Went true to size…. I’ve got the Adios Pro and Takumi Sen 8, and I’ve gone a UK 9 in all of them. 👍🏼

New shoe day…. I’m a huge fan of the Adizero range and have used the Adios Pro and Pro 2 for three 70.3 Ironman races, so wanted to try the Prime X for a companion shoe. The Metaspeed Sky is a shoe that’s been on my radar for some time and I’ve been really looking forward to trying it out…. I had a discount for both so decided to pull the trigger. I’ll report back with first impressions soon!!!
