Subject: Road bike vs. Tri Bike Last summer I bought a Trek 2000, a decent road bike. This coming summer I have several triathlons planned, sprint and
olympic distances. Unfortunately, I can't really turn around now and buy a tri bike. How much of a disadvantage will I be at
with the road bike? I understand because of the geometry of the road bike, the transition to running will be a bit tougher. I
could put aero bars the road bike, but it may affect handling as the long top tube really isn't accomodating to aero position.
I guess I'll just have to pedal my road bike like hell! Does anyone have any thoughts or success with converting a road bike to
somewhat of a tri bike? Thanks. |
