Subject: New tri bike vs. old road bike Okay, here's the problem. I ordered my custom Guru 2 months ago, thinking that I would get it in plenty of time to do some training on it before my HIM at the end of Oct. Finally got a phone call from the bike store yesterday that the bike was finally in, but THE WRONG COLOR. So it's being sent back, and they're hoping to have it done right before the race. So I've got 2 questions. First, should I ride a brand new bike in a race? I've only ridden a road bike, so I'm afraid of what being in a new aero position is going to do to my neck/legs. Second, the bike shop offered to set up my road bike from now to simulate my new tri bike, so I could get used to the set up. Should I bother with this and potentially ruin my last 2 weekends of really hard training on my road bike that I'm used to the setup on? Any thoughts would be appreciated. -steve |
