![]() ![]() I found that with the addition of a fast forward seat post on my road bike to supplement the clip on aero bars, I will be able to achieve the same geometry that I had on my tri bike. I should also mention that I have been fitted for both road and tri geometry bike frames. ![]() Also, because I’m on a budget, I like the fact that I can compete in both cycling races as well as triathlons using one bike, even if that means a small increase in my bike split time because of added drag. I read your post regarding the myth of aero bike frames, so my question is this: Can you quantify how much “slower” having standard road drop handlebars (with clip on aero bars attached) I will be over the course of an Olympic-distance race as opposed to the typical aero tri cockpit? How much of an aerodynamic penalty will having the shifters and drops out in the wind make, and is it even statistically significant? I live in the Rockies, so the road bike geometry is nice for the hills. That being said, I just sold my tri bike and upgraded to a nicer road bike (with a power meter) to give me a little more versatility with how and where I ride. ![]() Q: “I’m a competitive 25-29 age grouper who has placed in the top 10 overall in all of my races within the past two years.
