Half Ironman Distance
Time trial bikes vs road bikes for triathlons. Sprint, Olympic distance and half ironman. Maybe ironman. Help?
For distances your talking about you would be disadvantaged in a road bike with clip-ons, when most everyone would be blown to ride a tri bike complete with cow horns, clip-ons and geometry funky. The reality is that road bikes are best for things many tri bikes are not as mass start events, training sightseeing tours in traffic and recovery. They are also much easier to ride and handle much better than a tri bike. How seriously is triathlon you? Two bike seriously? No? So perhaps it is better to buy a road bike fitted with a spigot and tri, cow horns and clip-ons. Whatever you choose – good luck and have fun. Slow Twitch has a very comprehensive and informative article on this subject, called "Tri Bike Fit '- follow the link below.
