Subject: RE: new TT bike with a little over 3 weeks for half IM SEADOCHA - 2011-07-27 11:38 AM I just purchased a new TT bike over the weekend and am waiting on it to arrive this week. I was on a road bike. I have plans on doing the HIM in Steelhead. Wander if I will be able to get used to it that quick. Any thoughts? I will also have a professional bike fit once it is here. I'm so excited. I got the carbon fiber Scott contessa plasma! I was riding an aluminum frame for my road bike, so I'm expecting great things. I guess if I don't feel that comfortable on the TT I will hold back and use what I've been riding. A dealer told me a few weeks should be okay to get used to the adjustment. I didn't have aero bars prior to this either I think that you should be fine. Once your new bike arrives, I would make the recommendation that you ride it exclusively. I am in a similar situation and 32 days until and Ironman and I am still riding my road bike. |
