Subject: RE: New bike geometry = sore legs, slower times Going from a hybrid bike to a tri-bike is a pretty significant change in geometry, and body position. You likely have a more acute hip angle with the tri bike which will put more tension on your hamstrings.
You probably just need to adapt to the bike, but in the meantime give a little extra attention to stretching your hamstrings. Be sure your fit is right, especially seat height. Too high a seat will result in a loss of power and increased tension on hamstrings.
It wouldn't hurt to make sure your wheels are seated correctly and you don't have a brake pad rubbing.
