Subject: RE: Tri Bike MileageTri bikes can be set up a lot of different ways. I'm focused on long races, so my fit is very relaxed.....I've traded some aerodynamic advantage for a position I can hold and ride in all day. If I were doing short races or short time trials, I'd be a little lower and more narrow in the front (but I wouldn't be very comfortable holding that position for hours at a time ).
If you have a good fitter, you should spend a little time talking about your goals and how you want your bike set up.
As far as mileage goes, I'll probably put between 2000 & 3000 miles on the tri bike this year. Lots of people will ride theirs 5000+. Depend on how it's configured, a tri bike can be just as comfortable to ride as a road bike. |
