  • hahaha, in winter I always had to do exactly this because the roads up to the bigger mountains were frosted, so I did this working unintentionally all the time :D

  • excellent information, thank you.

  • Thanks for the tips! =)

  • i love your videos !

  • What do you recommend for a beginner(5/11) who wants to get the horsepower that seems so far away?

  • Is that a UCI legal bike??

  • @ktayor1

    No!

    The Airfoil Pro is illegal for TTs, it's only legal for triathlon.

    To be UCI legal, it has to have a standard frame design (diamond), so the lack of a seat tube is a big no-no.

  • @MAS4T0 Thanks dude, I thought so but wasnt too sure, Cheers!

  • @MAS4T0 Do you know what the advantage of that frame is? Thanks.

  • @vic0mark

    The bike is supposedly more aero than anything (un-faired) with a seat tube.

    Being as the frame is monocoque, it is just as stiff as just about any other frame of similar weight, but is apparently more vertically compliant.

    I suppose that it's biggest feature is likely that people are drawn to the unique styling.

    Seriously though, who buys the most aero-frame available, just to strap a saddle bag onto it!

  • @MAS4T0 Thanks for the info.  To be fair to the guy, if he's carrying the saddle bag during training only, it shouldn't be a big deal. I myself am trying to figure out how to carry the things I need on longer rides without blowing the aero features of the Transition I just bought. What are your thoughts on the behind-the-seat systems vs. other hydration methods on a tri-bike?

  • @vic0mark

    I personally like the X-Lab carbon wing for the TT bike. In my position, it's aerodynamically neutral (meaning that it's completely drafted by my body), and it looks quite good. It has space for 2 bottles along with everything that I could ever need to carry.

    Unless it's integrated into the frame (Cervelo P4), I'd always go with behind the saddle as they're aerodynamically neutral and it doesn't take much to negate the aero advantage of the frame.

    For the road bike, jersey pockets!

  • Good advice. Thanks! Looking forward to trying this out on my next training ride.
