No..probably not; the computer will probably fit between the bars.  The advantage to this little mount is that you can mount it out farther so you don't have to bend your head down to look at the computer.  You're welcome to try it out....if it doesn't work, I just ask that you pay it forward to someone else.  It doesn't require any special adapter or tooling.

I'm going to have to start getting creative to get some of these workouts in.  I guess if I don't get the swim, it means I ride my bike after the kids are in bed.  I did get a 5am run in this morning at least.

ClydeNewb - 2011-02-03 9:11 AM I feel awful.  Must have a wicked head cold setting in.  Just feel all around fatigued.  Fell asleep after dinner on tuesday and totally slept through my workout time.  Yesterday I made it in but felt like I was going to pass out on the treadmill.  I guess it was a combination of guilt for missing tuesday and stupidity that kept me on until the finish but now I feel twice as bad.  I think I'll be missing again today and try to get the run again tomorrow.  I think I would rather throw up than have those sinus headaches with the chills.

_Deb_ - 2011-02-02 8:07 PM The math in this thread is making my head hurt.  I did extremely well in high school math, but then went on to get a theatre degree.  Now just reading this is making smoke come out of my ears.  Suffice it to say that I am slow enough that it doesn't matter at all whether I have an aero helmet.  Or perhaps I need one more then anyone?

I'm currently sitting at home wondering whether I will get my swim in tonight.  Lane swim starts in 55 minutes and lasts for an hour.  My husband isn't home yet and I can't go unless he gets here in time (somebody has made it illegal to leave a 2 and 3 year old without supervision).  A recent promotion has given us some more money in the pocket, but at the cost of him working more overtime...

You had me at 4k is a long way to go in a pool... 

Yeah this was my longest set since swimming IM last September, but it is also the power of masters that pushes you. If I were alone in the pool myself I probably would not have finished and would have used the kid goggles as my escape out of the water without feeling guilty.

jgerbodegrant - 2011-02-04 7:51 AM This private lesson is with 2 people, who are doing kick drills the whole time...so you guessed it...there were 11 people at the pool trying to swim in 2 lanes.  Nobody had any concept of the fact that there should be a slow and a fast lane.  What a mess...left after 15 minutes.  I know everyone deserves pool time and everyone has to learn, but it's frustrating when you pay to use a pool and can't use it.

RBesecke - 2011-02-04 7:18 PM a touch over an hour on the trainer today. I picked up a trainer-specific tire, but have not mounted it yet 'cause I still only have one wheelset.

when I win the lottery and get to run away, I'll go somewhere with Masters Classes. The small pool here in town won't open until April or May, and the next closest one is about an hour away and has horrible hours and constantly closes.

Anyone ever use SRAM S60 or Mavic Cosmic Carbone SL wheels? I'm perfectly willing to go with something else, but right now those are the wheels I'm looking at the most. SRAMs are 60mm and I believe they're all-carbon (w/ alloy brake channel); Mavics are 50mm and just have a carbon hull. I don't know that I'd notice much of a difference, but maybe I would. Mostly I'll be riding relatively flat, straight roads, but the group rides go through some twisty mountain roads. Would one corner worse than the other? Also, winds here get pretty bad. A 20mph wind is pretty normal, and the Tour of the Gila last year had 80mph winds on the 1st amature stage (I didn't race, but my GF did and it was very hard on her). I don't expect to encounter winds THAT strong, let alone ride in them, but it illustrates how windy it can get in this region. Would the 50mm profile be better in 20-30mph winds, or would the 1cm difference really make a noticeable difference?
