Subject: RE: Climbing on tribike vs regular road bikeI've been playing with this (Tri bike vs Road, not the under... question )
What I've found is that on a flater course, I'm about the same speed to a bit faster on my Tri bike (with a lower HR for the same speed ). On a hilly course, like moderate rollers, I'm still about the same speed on the two bikes.
On a course/route with good climbs, hands down faster on the road bike. Over a 30 mile course I like to ride, I'm 1.25 mph faster (on average ) on the road bike. Now, my HR is on average higher, and I'm not ready to run afterwards. So ya, I climb better on my roadbike.
