Never could get the comfy fit on my Tarmac with clip ons. An older D6 frame did the trick for me. I know friends who’ve been able to get by with clip ons.

I cranked out a 4:59 bike split at IMFL on a Cannondale Caad10 with clipon aerobars. You can be fast without top-end equipment. The biggest thing you can upgrade is your engine. A big engine will make any bike go fast!

Great Video! Currently looking for my first Tri Bike. Hopefully find "the one" :D

Would also need to mention that the feel and speed is greatly improved by running a decent set of carbon wheels on a bike. More so than a replacing eg 105 with Ultegra components.

I'll be sporting a good old fashioned steel frame bike with downtube shifters for my first triathlon. Simply stuck some clip on aero bars and we're good to go! I can't wait to upgrade to one of those TT speed machines tho...

Seriously the gains v cost on ‘aero’ is outrageous compared to OVERALL fitness. You are the biggest aero drag and your kegs determine the segment outcomes.

For TT/Tri Bikes I Would heavily suggest getting a bike fit on a fit bike system suitable for the events you want to race before you start looking at bikes. Fit is more important than anything else and knowing which brands and sizes suit you is key. Not all bikes will be good for all people. Go to any amateur triathlon and there will be endless people with terrible fits on bikes they shouldn’t be riding. A good independent fitter will be able to tell you what to look for before you go near a bike shop.

@@Microbit0 This comment is going to be 2 yrs too late. First of all, the video is not about buying your FIRST BIKE. It's about buying your FIRST TT bike. You can get away with a road/mountain bike for a Sprint distance triathlon but for distances beyond that, it's important to have really good fit otherwise you will be uncomfortable (sore shoulders, sore back, even blisters in your groin). That being said, fitters are fairly cheap. A good bike shop will have a resident fitter and they'll probably even fit you for free.

Also consider what type of saddle that goes along with the bike. It can make a huge difference with the bike that you go and choose - a more comfortable one will make your ride that much enjoyable!

A gravel bike with a dropper post and aero bars is my weapon of choice

Thank you for this video. Perfect timing for me😂

I got a used cervelo p3, from 2010, the frame was perfect and hasnt changed very much iver the years making it fine to modernize.

SO GOOD

I was looking for a tri bike with an aluminium frame, but couldn't find one. It would be cool to have a cheap option w tiagra groupset, if only for flats. Also riding on the bars is a bit daunting, there is no way I can do it safely. Due to my height buying used is not an option... Alternative would be something like CAAD13 or Allez Sprint with aero bars i guess. :-)

@Quentin Leluan Local bike shop was a deciding point for me, they offered a free bike fit with the purchase. That is the sole reason I didn't opt for ordering a Canyon. Also if LBS is near it can help a lot with maintenance, tips on gear etc.

For an Xterra Tri do you recommend anything different than a normal mountain bike? I was thinking about buying a hybrid bike (for road and mountain), but read it can't handle very rough trails, which they may have in an Xterra? I'm thinking about doing my first triathlon, but the only one close to me is Xterra, so that's why thinking about doing that, but plan on only training on the road.

Are sworks shiv TT enough for triathlon ? Or should I pick the triathlon version ( triathlon version looks ugly thats why I am confuse )

How is the sizing? im 183cm with 88 legs and 60-61 arm. So i have a 56-58 frame on a road bike and then i found that with a Tri bike i have a 55. How do i convert a bigger road into a tri bike without growing some inches/cm?

Having electronic shifting on a TT bike gives you the option to shift when riding upright - much safer and easier than having to reach forward to the end of the aero bars

@markthrelfall3577

Doramoon electronic is brilliant, and as someone has mentioned, you can shift on the base bar and the aero bars. That being said, only a few years back I was still running mechanical on my TT bike. It was a great setup, and I would still happily ride it today. It’s an easy thing to upgrade with time if price is an issue

Aluminum is not less prone to damage, actually the complete opposite. If you have damaged a carbon frame, you would have dented an aluminum one. Many brands offer lifetime warranties on carbon, while only 5 years on aluminum.

@markthrelfall3577

Jonathan Zappala sure, but from personal experience I’ve found carbon to be a little more fragile in impact. Also a dented aluminium frame is far more structurally sound than a cracked carbon frame. That being said, I wouldn’t want either

What are a few sites that sell second hand triathlon bikes or bikes that could become triathlon bikes?

T1000 pure triathlon bikes on Alibaba all day long. Its where you should shop.

Cervelo is an entry level bike... and Ultegra is a midrange groupset?? Wow. We live on different planets.

You cannot Easily upgrade and "entry-level" groupset to a higher groupset w/o spending a lot of money they are not exactly swappable.

You guys should do a special on the best cycling app on the planet, our app RideAlert.app.

me watching this with only $300 🗿

Biggest difference between a carbon and an aluminium is shape and aero ! You can't really have an aluminium frame that have the deep and profiled tubes of a carbon bikes due to the material and weight penalty. Carbon is a no brainer for TT, second are the wheels.
