As a triathlete, I am having trouble deciding whether I should upgrade my components(to sram red) on my road bike or get some Hed Stinger 6 C2. I have a triple on my road bike right now and feel like i should upgrade that because that is what am on for the majority of my bike miles; however, aerowheels would be a better investment for the actual races. I just wanted to get some people’s input on what to do or if you have been in the same situation.
first neither of these things are investments. they are toys.
2nd, what do you care more about, an unnoticeable difference in the performance of your road bike that you aren’t racing with anyway
or a maybe noticeable difference in the performance of the bike that you race with?

6 months of coaching???
even better
use the wheel money to take 2 months off from work to do nothing but train!
i should do this
Better still take 10-20 days off over the same 10-20 week period…say one day a week, i like wednseday to go big seperate from the weekend.

good point, that would be a more efficient use of not working
.
All good suggestions. I am currently training with a coach and have been for the past 5 months and will through the summer. I cannot say I have the luxury of taking 20-30 days off of work. One day a week is a good idea but I am a student so I never really have one day off unless its the weekend. Leaning toward perhaps some wheels. If I upgraded my groupo it would be for a really good deal…
