What upgrade features would one recommend for Ironman racing in terms of aerodynamics and upgradeable features for added power (ie: a disc)
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Disc wheel or cover, clip-ons and a fast forward seatpost. Also clean up your cabling, buy an aero helmet and get a bike fit.
Don’t forget good tires and latex tubes
.
Aerobars, short (possibly negative angle) stem, Adamo (or similar seat angle cheat) saddle - all for the purpose of getting into a decent TT position. Then some good tyres.
Anything after that will quickly get into false economy. Race wheels, discs etc likely to cost as much or more than a used alloy Tri bike which will have a much bigger impact (unless your road bike is an S5 and you’re able to get into a good TT position on it).
clip on tt bars, a skin suit, good tires, and careful attention to your body position on said road bike.
