Indeed, if I only wanted to burn some calories I wouldn't care. What I'm
wondering is whether I need to think
about investing on a more expensive bike in order to do an ironman. I
probably won't do it if it only shaves off
10 minutes in a 112-mile bike ride. But a 30 minutes difference would be big
enough for me to consider
some investment.
I'm a physicist so I fully understand the mechanics. But I don't fully
understand how my body works in cycling
which is why I ask experienced cyclists.:) Al |

you will probably need a fitting (which is the adjustment of the seat and
handle bar so that the bike fits better your body geometry) |

发帖数: 12977 | 4 my $400 BD bike work fine as well, it worthwhile for us to get full benefit
from this tuition before we know exactly what we need.
It's easy to understand a lighter bike, but it takes time to understand what
it means to you for a few lbs lighter, and also takes to understand what's
the benefit of more efficient power transition (for example BB30), what's
the befit of smoother gear shifting, ....of quicker response, ...of stiffer
frame, etc.

decide to give clipless a try, i bought a eggbeater (actually designed

even though clipless is not very convenient in commuting, but now i already
get used to it. |

发帖数: 12977 | 7 If your bike is still relatively fresh, then don't worry about the race.
My bike got a flat tire only after at least 400 miles of riding.
The reason of flat tire is when your tires (especially rear) worn out and
becomes less protective you hit something sharp on the road.
My experience is when you have your first flat tire, then it will become
more frequent until you have to change your tire entirely.
For a short race, you don't have to practice it unless you have to.

Of course both look fabulous to me. Do these tri bikes have the same kind
of wheels as ordinary road bikes? In particular, do they use the same inner
tube? |

发帖数: 1498 | 9 Not a good idea to rent a bike the day before the race. If you want to get
aero bars, go to your local bike shop and buy a pair of clip-on bars, and
ask them to fit you.
A general rule: do not try anything new just before the race. |

发帖数: 4931 | 10 Why is it such a big deal not to try a new bike? I will reserve my frame
size and the expo people will do the fitting for me. It might fit me even better than my own bike which was ordered online. What could go wrong? :)

I may use my current pedals. I just spent $300 on triathlon gears today and

bike ride. It's not going to kill me to ride in my running shoes.:)

不大明白这个fancy的内置DT wire lock。我理解如果wire被割断后偷走了，没有wire
还骑的话车
就会因为结构不稳而损坏了。可是对于车的主人来说，被偷走和被损坏好像区别不大。
难道现在的小偷
都很专业，知道这个车偷了也没用所以就不偷？看来还是需要另外装锁。
当然，因为防盗的考虑，biomega必须要提供原始发票才给替换那个DT wire，如果被剪
断的话。

Anyway, I would like to get some expert's advise before starting the work.
My bike is making this noise (clicking or cricking) for some time. Not so
much on a flat terrain but quite prominent on climbing especially a steep
one. And, it sounds like from the BB/Crank area. But, I was not sure since

发帖数: 3290 | 26 1. The clicking noise come out once per rev.
2. It happen even I am not sitting on the saddle.
3. When bike is on stationary trainer with a high resistance, I rotated the
left pedal and can feel slack and slight vibration and hear vague noise that
sounds very much like an inadequately lubricated ball bearing.
4. Forgot to rotate the right one on stationary trainer.
5. Chain ring bolts feel pretty tight.
6. No visible cracks on the chainstay.
7. No noise when rotate crank on a bike repair stand. |

看了板上的FAQ以其精华帖。貌似讨论选车的帖子很少。
能否指导一下哪些牌子，车型比较好？ 预算大概200到400左右吧。

发帖数: 1632 | 30 Depends - will you be riding trails, single track? Or mostly paved roads?
For your first mtn bike, suggest you go to your LBS (local bike shop) and
ask around. If you are thinking of doing single tracks, $400 is actually
kinda low-end... If you can save up for $600 you can get something like a
Gary Fisher Wahoo, which has very decent beginning components and a nice
frame.
Above all you have to test ride them and see how they fit your body. |

发帖数: 2284 | 37 去年夏天,WeatherX Hengmei2 Victoon 几个指点我攒了一台Cyclocross，说一下我的感觉：
Cyclocross和road bike的外形更接近，所以骑行姿势也接近，没有山地和touring
bike那么直立。速度而言，就一般玩玩而已的业余骑手，差别和roadie不太大。在我经
常混的那个俱乐部，我用cyclocross的速度届于他们的A组和B组之间。
如果你比较在意舒适性，还想在公路/trail上混合骑，还要在（比较慢的）group ride
中跟得上，我的建议是找台轻些的MTB，上clipless和commuting 轮胎。 |

The Case of the Missing Bikes

To Floyd Landis, one of the mysteries of his time with the U.S. Postal
Service cycling team was why more new bikes weren't available for the riders
. He eventually struck on one possible answer: the team was selling
equipment to the public to raise cash.

发帖数: 19210 | 45 is that 3.61 mph difference because of the rider, or because of the bike?
i would guess it's half/half. so, about 1.8 mph gained by the bike. not too

发帖数: 1498 | 46 The faster you go, the bigger the difference.
Just google and you'll find tons of info on bike aerodynamics.
Once you can maintain 22mph on a roadie, getting an aero helmet, aero bars,
and aero wheels can get you at least 1mph faster. The TT bike itself isn't
what makes you go faster, it's the geometry that allows you to ride in an
aero position without losing stability. |
