I want to give some recognition out to Record10Carbon and the rest of the TSR participants - I recently was able to hook up a friend that I talked into doing triathlons this year with some nice aerobars, a basebar, brake levers and some bar-end shifters.
Needless to say he was floored that these were donated to him for free. I told him that the only cost he has to pay for these parts is to give back to the triathlon community and make sure that any unused equipment he has is put into service for someone else getting into the sport.
He graciously agreed and is really excited for us to get the bars setup next weekend. I’ll post up some pics if we remember to take some.
Thanks to TSR again - for those of you who have excess equipment you can really make someone’s day by donating it to TSR. This system really works!
I’d have to ditto this. Just when Record10Carbon began his drive to kick -tart TSR, tryemdad posted that he had some jammer areobars. He and I exchanged emails, and wouldn’t you know it, he sent them to me. Thanks.
I was able to try them out this past weekend - and boy do I seriously need some practice!
At this point I am looking for aero bars. I may have an “in” at Profile, not sure if that will pan out or not…I am still waiting on the frame that a ST guy said he would send. I have a full Record 9 kit that I am going to put on it - with a rear wheel that is on its way to me today. I have the shifters and what not, and was going to just pay for the cables and bar tape.
I have had MANY people ask for things…and MANY people offer to send things. I would say that so far 80% of the statments made have come to frutition, the others will.
Team Secondhand Racing. Tibbs’ idea. On this iteration a list of items available and requests for gear go through Record10Ti/Carbon. PM him with gear requests and to tell him what you’ve got available.
After a while, we all accumulate gear we don’t use/need any more. Rather than have it sit around or spend a couple of hours trying to sell the stuff on eBay, we just pass it along for free/reasonable shipping cost to someone that can make use of it. Best is to get someone into the sport that might not otherwise have made the effort.
