How close is too close

The sooner the better, obviously.  But why not just wait?  You're already riding a great bike that you know fits.  The carbon's not going to make the 112mi any easier. 

I have thought of that. . .maybe that is the way to go. I guess I just have it in my head that the bike I am on isn't fitted to me (which is never has been) and I would just like to know going into IMCDA that I am on a bike that is fitted to me.

I could pay for a fitting but then I am just afraid they will say you need to switch this and this and this out and end up paying $1000 for parts and such and realize I just should of went and got a new bike that was fitted. ???

Maybe I am thinking too much about it.

Are you comfortable on the bike you have? Personally for me it's too soon to switch but you have to go with what works for you.

It is ok. I feel a bit stretched out at times. . . I will probably get a fitting done and if they can adjust my current bike without any big modifications just stick with that. .

I guess it really is just a decision I have to make. In the end 112 miles is 112 miles, but I would like to be as comfortable as possible during that loooong time frame.

I had a Felt F70 and switched to an Argon 18 about 3 weeks before IMAZ. I did tri bike transport so I only got about 2 weeks on my new bike before the race. Thats a lot bigger difference going from road to tri then from old tri to new tri. I say go for it, besides new bikes are cool.

I know know. . I am not bragging, or tyring to be "I have a HUGE problem, should I get the P3C or the Guru Crono"
I would have to sell my other bike and cut back on spending in other areas. . It isn't like I am adding to the stable and trying to start my own bike shop. . . Although that is a dream of mine.


I was just trying to get a feel for what people thought about switching out bikes this close to a big race (survival test).

Thanks for the responses though, I do like to hear what everyone has to say.

You should get the race wheels. The Zipps are awesome!
