Subject: RE: Road or Tri bike you did for your 70.3 or IronmanOriginally posted by Tootshibbard I'm sure this question or even poll has been banged to death but please indulge me and if you have time give us your experience of how you think choosing the bike you did helped/hurt your ride. Even better if you have experience trying a 70.3 or Ironman with both a tri AND a road bike. Options are if you rode on a tri bike, road bike with aero bars, or road bike without aero bars. Are you trying to decide on getting a tri bike or trying to decide between tri bike and road bike? On the first, people do fine in long course with a road bike set up as such. On the second, it's tri bike all the way. There are few situations where the road bike would be better. |
