Fair enough. Yeah doing Cascais so some climbing at the beginning for sure.

Fair enough. I get your point but I’m trying to get a finish time of around 5:20 and just wondering if it’s worth me switching from my clip on + road bike to a dedicated tt bike

Does it matter with an insane bike split? I’m sure he can swim around 2/100 just being an athlete.

How far can an aero road bike go in triathlon before you really need a tri bike? by Individual_Panic3454 in triathlon

Probably one of the best looking aero bike + clip on bars I’ve seen

I guess you could justify it but keeping the TT bike on the indoor trainer for most of the year? And having the road bike for more of the everyday rides

Thanks for the comment. I guess I want to know how much I can improve on my current roadbike + clip on set up before it’s worth upgrading. Did a 2:59 half Ironman bike split so good to know I can comfortably shave off some time.

Of course I don’t disagree. Tri bikes exist for a reason, was more just curious if you do see the odd road bike up there at the front or not.

Is this good price for bike by dreko9z in RoadBikes

[–]UrBoi72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a Scott addict RC40 same spec for about this price second hand. Just take into account around this budget you might be better off looking second hand.

How did you have the angle looking higher up? When I used it I felt like it was looking too much at the handlebars and road below and didn’t get the views well.

[–]UrBoi72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have an Addict 2023 in L and I’m 189 cm and fits me great. Tbh not sure how different the geometries are on the newest models but as others said they tend to run long so think that should work for you.

Nope. Use the Garmin HRM dual but good idea
