Just starting really so I don't know what my preferred distance will be yet... Only entered short ones this year but hoping for some more variety next season.
I really enjoy them (afterwards not during) but I feel miles away from where I want to be with regards to setup. At the minute I'm riding my road bike with old cheap aero bars so my position is very cobbled and changes weekly. Having said that, my road position is cobbled also (albeit in an educated manner).
If I go for a fit, do I get fitted for the road bike or for doing TTs on the road bike? Or both if that's possible?
Then I think about having a dedicated TT bike but i just can't justify the expense at this stage. My times are generally at the top of those competing on road bikes but below most on TT bikes, so therefore in that danger zone where getting brainwashed into thinking that a TT bike, skin suit and aero helmet will shed me minutes and fly me up the leader board is nagging at me.
This was the 5 on Tue - managed 11:38 (25mph ave)
What would 50mm rims save?
What would 100/80 rims save?
Then what would either of those on a TT bike save?
And what would a proper set up on my road bike save? Does there come a point when you just can't eek any more out of a road bike and have to make that switch to TT or can you replicate?
