Subject: Help, my handlebars aren't legal! I moved from the US to Spain and brought my tri bike with me. This week, I entered my first tri and was surprised to find as I was bringing my bike into the boxes that my handlebars were not legal. Apparently they follow the International Triathlon Union rules (which allow drafting ) and as such, disallow the common US tri setup. Getting DQed before I started was a bit discouraging. How should I go about converting my tri bike to more of a road setup? Is it as simple as changing the handlebars? I like the position I am in now with the aerobars, and I don't want to lose that. I still don't know too much about bikes, so any input would help. I have found lots of articles on how to make your road bike more tri-friendly, but nothing the other way. Thanks for help. |
