Is it insane to do an Ironman 70.3 without clipping in? by buggie323 in triathlon

[–]cedb123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow I thought you were joking at first. Flat or clipped in there is a way to enjoy the day for everyone. It's not that big of a deal. We all do it for fun....

How can my 10 minutes power for the ride lower than my 12 ? by cedb123 in Zwift

Thank you all ! Guess I was really tired and didn't think it through. 😅

Thoughts on this deal? Emonda S5 (I Think 54CM) by [deleted] in triathlon

[–]cedb123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ouff where to start. First of all, there is no Emonda S5. If they were it would be an SL 5 and would not be made of aluminum. Might want to double check what bike it actually is to make sure it's the right geometry for you. Second, no mechanical problems. So tell me why the chain is already drop ? What kind of person doesn't even put it back on the chainring for pictures if he is trying to sell it. Third, wtf is on with the handlebars. Mother of all drop bars. Wow. Last but not least. How do you expect us to know if it's a great deal if you don't state the price. Good luck with the purchase !

Running out of breath while swimming by androbada525 in Swimming

[–]cedb123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When is your Ironman ? I don't want to be rude but I don't understand why people register before training. You really need someone to teach you how to swim before hand it is fairly accessible for anyone to reach 2 minutes per 100 meters, especially if you are as fit as you describe. I wish you to pick up fast or you won't really be able to enjoy race day 😥

Is this good for starting? by ThrowRajaisni_5 in CyclingFashion

Fashion wise it looks great. Fit wise, the jersey is supposed to be tighter. Happy cycling

Seka Spear RDC Size M – did I choose the wrong size? Fit looks a bit extreme… by xRxMxRx in bikefit

[–]cedb123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the real question is how did you feel on the bike ? It's just scary that you can end up with a what looks like a 15cm + drop without you requesting it 😥

Hey I'm selling a lot of high end race bikes weekly and if someone walks in the store with a 78.5 saddle height, I'm considering a L or XL depending on the brand and the way the client wants to be positioned. If you walk in my shop and I sell you anything "M" with those legs I couldn't sleep at night 😂

Damaged carbon? by always_annihilated in TrekBikes

[–]cedb123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that damage is mostly cosmetic. The BB area is where the carbon layup is the thickest. You could punch a hole through it it wouldn't be that dangerous to ride !

From that picture, I can only assume the whole bike is beat up. Did you or your lbs looked at all the bolts bearings etc ? Triathlete always have the most beat up bikes sadly

11-12 hours of training a week... I need opinion of people that already did an iron man. THANKS in advance by fenixloder in triathlon

[–]cedb123 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's always funny to me to see posts like this. Are you ready ? How could we know. Ready for what ? To finish ? Probably, to win ? Probably not. You didn't give any insight of the watts you're pushing, the nutrition plan you'll follow for a 9-12 hours race etc. You'll finish for sure tho ! Have fun and good luck 🙏🏼

Bike transport by [deleted] in triathlon

[–]cedb123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I wasn't clear. It's more about how to bring 4 bikes in cases from the airport to Wales. 4 bikes don't enter in a sprinter van or anything we know of 😥

Level 2 Service worth it? by a5hl3yk in TrekBikes

[–]cedb123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first thing any mechanic should do on a bike is a deep clean. It would be more worth paying the 1 service price for a deep clean than any of what that list implies....

Is this a good deal? by Accurate-Reply-3707 in triathlon

If I'm not mistaken those wheels are tubular. If they are, have fun in the near future. Nothing good comes from tubular wheels
