Triathlon Gear Reviews

Very good for the price.

Best tires I've ever had. I train and race with them. Have a pair of tougher tires for the winter riding but haven't needed to change to a heavier tire with these. Love 'em.

Not bad at all! I think I'll stay away from the Nimbus line from now on though, don't really see any improvement over my Cumulus 7s

I like that its' not too complicated. I can tinker with it as well as use add-ons to make it tri-specific

I'm a fan of Brooks and moved from the Axiom 2 to these for more support and am very pleased!

I love it and I would recommend the Forerunner 405 to anyone! I bought the heart rate monitor and cadence monitor separately at a discount on Amazon and haven't had any issues.

Great product!

Overall. I am stoked with this ride. If they get better than this, then I cannot wait. Bikesdirect did a great job with their customer service and Motobecane has built a good quality ride.

I would purchase these again. I like the look and the fit.

My 1st pair of tri shorts, so I don't have much of a basis for comparison. For cycling, I like them more than my regular cycling shorts.

While SRM is considered the "gold standard" for power measurement, in my view most people will be best off with the PowerTap as it is ready to use out of the box and requires no adjustments over time. Newer versions allow you to go wireless and will soon support ANT+ so you could use your own display (e.g. Garmin 705). But the wired SL continues to be a great value (for an admittedly large investment in training tools).

They're good but are they that much better than the look pedals I had? Everything is way better now but I attribute that to the LBS cleat fit

I bought this suit from the Xterra website. The first suit that I got was too small. It was easy to return the first suit and get the next larger size.

All in all, I'm happy with the suit and I'd probably buy one again.

If you want a great shoe, this is the one. light, ventilated, not too expensive.

Has a bright silver metal look, with blue detailing. Havent had a single problem with the shoe in 7 months. Will last me over a year easily.

2008 was my first tri season and I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a HRM. I thought this would be a great buy for the money, because I could at least use it for all three events.

Reading my HR accurately at all times has been problematic, but it does eventually normalize and I can at least somewhat trust the readings at the end of the workout.

It would be fair for me to point out that I have not contacted Customer Service regarding this problem. Maybe I just need a better chest strap or there is something they could do.

However, the eventual normalization of the readings and my plan to upgrade in the near future makes this something I'm willing to live with.
