The almost "Please criticize my bike position" thread

Triathlon Forum

Only 2 weeks to go until my next try to delivery a bad result at an Ironman, so I thought I could do some stupid things and change a few things on my bike. 2 friends of mine wanted to see a picture with me on my bike so they can see how great I look. But after all my friends are on easter vacation right now, I had to take the picture by myself and with my bike trainer back in Germany I leaned my bike against a chair, rushed over to my camera, switched to the autotimer and rushed back to my bike, jumped on it and then lost my balance and had a very nice landing on the floor. My head almost smashed my zipp disc - missed it for just a bit less than an inch. My knee hurts like hell, but at least no blood, which could have ruined my nice carpet.

But after I got on my feet again I checked my camera to see if my effort wasn’t for nothing. And I got a nice picture, so please criticize my position :slight_smile:

Ok, I don’t want to be unfair - a picture with me on my bike actually exists (and I wear that stuff so that nobody sees how fat I am):

P.S.: next week I will probably lower the spacers from 25mm to 12,5mm or something like that. My back will start hurting after 2miles, but at least the bike will look way cooler.

Next time wear cycling shoes. They clip in a bit better than bare feet.

I was clipped in with my right foot - but I didn’t need anything for my left one for that particular picture

How do you like the specialized transition?

i like it very much, don’t regret that I bought it (only that i didn’t take the titan zero g brakes, because of the color matching)

But I can’t compare it to any other bikes because my old bike was just a no name piece of crap. so probably everything would have been an improvement.

Well at least your practicing your technique for falling when 2400 cyclists converge on the same corner at IMAZ all at once. See you in AZ.
