So what does Bjorn think now that he has had a chance to test ride? It sounds like his position has changed and if so, how does he find the new position? Finally, FWIW - I hope he sticks with the IM distance as it would be noce to see him take a shot at Normann's KONA bike course record someday :)...

With your sense of direction, that's quite apt! ;-) LOL!

They look asymmetric to me . The left extension looks virtually straight compared to the curvy right.

He likes the new setup and position, he is a little more stretched out and still low but the watts are still there. Now its training time. First, the Tour of Belize, then Ironman South Africa. We will see what happens after IMSA.

I thought Bjorn had officially retired from IM racing, or was that a Stones retirement?

No, to decrease his frontal profile.

I was referring to the old Scott one-piece aerobars.

how much of that saddle did he need to cut to get5cm behind the BB? I know with my p3 and a SLR saddle I woulda had to almost cut it in half (at least 3 inches) with the 78 degree angle? And even then, he is still 75cm center BB to tip of extensions? Looks longer than that. Not that tris are UCI restricted.....

They both are slightly curved, what you are seeing may be an illusion from the camera angle.

I used to use those on my downhill MTB circa 1990. I had some crazy ideas back then.........

Kind of but I got an oppurtunity to train in South Africa with the Swedish tri fed that I couldn't pass up and that means also doing the race. There are some new things I'd like to try as well but if it doesn't work out then that's it with Ironman.

No but I race cycling nats every year and then the UCI rules apply. I actually like the cut-off saddle so after trying it I decided to keep it for tris as well.

Good to hear that Bjorn. As Bryce said the bike course would suit you and although the run course is a lot flatter than the Sherborne 1/2 course it one where you could keep an eye on the other guys too. Give them hell, doode!

The UCI allows you to bump that to 85 cm for "anatomical reasons", but only if your elbow angle remains less than (IIRC) 110 degrees.

Jeez its hard to believe that Bjorn is an elite runner. He definately not the cut defined elite tri physique.


That's probably why I'm not a great runner then.. I'm about 6-7kg above racing weight in those pics as well but yeah I have heavy build.

I hope you eventually decide to stick with the IM distance and are able to work things out.

A 56cm eh Bjorn. How tall are you. I've always felt my 51cm may be a little small.
