X4 or whatever we're up to Reuben, that is what I did with my road bike earlier this year.  It is a good way to get used to the aero position. 

Tracy, does that mean we'll be triplets???    actually, just sent u a pm about the bike saddle tips.

now, i know john or trevor will find some way to make fun of that!

ABrunner - 2009-08-26 6:35 PM For those that added clip ons to their road bike, did you also add a forward seat post?  My goal for the winter is to get a tri bike, but I promised myself (and my wife) that I had to put 2,000 miles on my road bike first.  That means I'll be spending some time on the road bike this fall/winter and was thinking about adding clip ons.

I was looking at them about the time I figured out how to get a tri-bike.

I was planning on just doing for the trainer this winter and a little road riding, but you all have me convinced to to do it and ride the crap out of it.  My wife mentioned at dinner tonight she'd be interested in getting her bike aero fitted as well.

Now, Tony, are going to let us in on your secret?  How do you get a tri-bike?

10 hours and no posts

dalessit - 2009-08-27 8:22 AM I think there are only a couple fishies in our group, for the rest of us, please see this thread for our new wetsuit for next year.

Yes read that again, 8-10mm of rubber, lol Suzy and Kim might ride completely above the water hovering about a mm with that much flotation and their size.

There was another thread about the 5mm rule for wetsuits. There is really no rule so Desoto made a wetsuit with more rubber.  This thing should fly.

Don't shake too hard.  Sounds like you're getting a new wetsuit!

sdalessio - 2009-08-27 9:43 AM
Me - you'd think Tony was the only child growing up in our household.

BigReub - 2009-08-27 8:46 AM

Tony and I have the same affliction.  I get cool, new toys and the wife and kids get to watch me enjoy my new toys.

Not my fault you are slow to put your requests in.

dalessit - 2009-08-27 8:52 AM

Oh, and I don't own a wetsuit but you do  (I do have one but doesn't fit well and I got it used for 90 bucks...)

sdalessio - 2009-08-27 9:55 AM


Oh, don't you start the for tat.  you'll lose!  ;-)
