legal or illegal bike--some pics

guest — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 00:41:05 GMT

all the measurements check out--but here are some pictures. I'd hate to drop any more money and find out it wasn't ok to ride in certain races. I just need some fast wheels!!

My new bike is here!!! Is she legal?

I would like some input on this giant mcr as legal or illegal. I just have to con my wife into letting me drop the cash on the wheels!!!!

thanks

ironman entry

guest — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 22:26:18 GMT

Does anone have any tips on enterig an ironman sanctioned event? It seems pretty confusing--almost like you have to be at one to enter the next year's event.

I also know that they fill up pretty fast. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

I believe runner's world magazine had a picture of team hoyt at the back of one of the issues. I don't even think there was even an article written on the page. Only one word was present. MOTIVATION.

It's gotten me out of the bed many mornings.

bigger chain rings

guest — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 02:58:11 GMT

I didn't know much about cycling when I bought my first road bike (it was soon used for triathlons). . I would demolish my training partners on hills but I could never keep up on flats and downhill. I then found out my bike had junior gears. Problem solved. So when I built my next bike I made sure I had 53/39 so I could go a little faster. That was a few years ago and for kicks I just put on a 56. It's noticably harder to pedal and cadence is lower. Does anyone have any suggestions concerning bigger chain rings--are they beneficial, can they make you stronger, faster, etc or am I just wasting my time with it?

thanks

Leg Shaving

guest — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 02:11:39 GMT

Let's face it. We men shave our legs because it makes it our legs look better. Why on earth would we train so hard and then have a bunch of hair conceal all that wonderful definition? I think after awhile ti just becomes a part of the routine.

usat and ironman rules

guest — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 03:49:36 GMT

Are Ironman sanctioned events at all affected by usat rules? I'm trying to see ironman rules on bike geometry are the same as usat rules. Are fsa lenticular disc chainrings legal?

I am a better runner and cyclist than a swimmer. I'm having a hard time keeping my legs and feet at the surface. It seems that my kicking is all underwater at times. I know this can't be the correct way. I'm not very bouyant--4-5% body fat. An tips?

thanks

aerobars

Also, I don't think anyone would like to get impaled by a long aerobar equipped with a blunt shifter on the end of it.
