Meulen - 2010-12-01 12:09 PM If money is an issue I'd be looking at going with SRAM force. Light as heck, yet solid components. Next I'd be looking at some vision base bars and clip ons. They come at all price points, depending how light you want to go and are very adjustable. Save some cash for a good set of wheels and nokom cables. Maybe, some Hed jet 6 wheels and a wheel cover for the rear. That would be a killer bike to train and race on, without breaking the budget!

 

Nokon's do not always play nice on a TT/Tri bike. The number of twists and bends results in some missed\delayed shifts. 

true.........but the P2C has a pretty good cable housing design. They are a pain to install, for sure, but they are butter when you get them right!

Actually through the frame is not the issues its internally through the bars. On the Zipp Vuka for example, the shift cables are bent twice before they even get to the stem. Then add any additional twists and turns in and through the frame.



I totally agree, which is why I suggested the vision bars.

They are great and fun to design on road bikes. I have alternating red and black on my road bike. Took some time to install but fun.

I love them on my MTB too. They took a long time to install. I use them with X.0 grip shifts. Even in the mud, or exposed to mud multiple times, they are flawless and rarely need any kind of attention. I've literally lubed the cables once at the beginning of each season, and probably didn't even need to.
