Hello, I know this is a tri forum but a lot of tt questions apply. I am a roadie, but I have recently done well in some TTs and dualathons. I have just used some clip on "century" bars and standard 27mm aluminum wheels. I do have an aero helmet and I know that is prob the best bang for buck.
So I know in TTS and tris, it is frustrating to compete against others with $8000 tri bikes and zipps, but I will never have that. So with a few hundred bucks, what would be my best way to spend it?
1. Cheap used tri bike. I found a motobecane nemesis close to me for $450. I would still have plain wheels.
2. Newer wheels. I will not spend hundreds on crazy carbon wheels, but maybe I could build up a set of kinlin xr380s even the cheap vuelta 37mm aluminum wheels at nashbar. Any other inexpensive option would be good.
3.?
Any advice is great. Thanks
