I've only been racing traithlon for two years and so far i always rode my road bike. This winter i decided to get my first TT/tri bike. I have experience riding and working on road bikes and XC/MTB bikes but have never owned a TT or tri bike.
So i got a used Felt IA16 model year 2016, put some new wheels on it, new saddle and so on and so on and it has been inside on my indoor trainer (Tacx) where i have been tweaking seat hight/fore-aft/tilt and the earobars.
When i bought the frame, it came with a Profile Design HC Aerobottle with holder. On the back end there's space for a computer like my Garmin. However, it is placed so far back that it' s not easy to look at it while riding in the aero position. I really appreciate having my Garmin on my bike in training and in racing so i can monitor my cadence and distance among other things.
I also have place for two 0,5-0,7 liter bottles behind the saddle and one on the frame. I expect to be doing several different races 1/8, 1/4, 1/3 an 1/2 distance this season.
So the earo bottle is easy acces to hydration but less easy view of Garmin. I have plenty space for bottles but those are less easy to access...
My question is: how would you set this up and why..
Any ideas and advise wpuld be much appreciated.
