Hello, love the site! I am competing (or really, just completing) in my first sprint triathlon in a few months. I only have a mountain bike (Trek 850). It has thin "road" tires, but has mountain bike "straight bar" handle bars. Because I'm a beginner and am just looking to finish, is it a big deal using this bike? Should I make any investments, like handle bars? The only thing I've done is added clip pedals.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

Glad I could help :) As far as your mountain bike goes its your first triathlon, so you'll be fine. Just like you said you want to finish not win the thing. I suggest that you race fat tire division as you will be most competitive there. I would not spend too much money on fixing your mountain bike, you are better off spending the money on a tri bike. Although for your first couple of triathlons a mountain bike will help you do want you need, finishing... If you have any other questions feel free to shoot them my way :D

I am an avid runner, just getting into tris. I am training for a marathon which is in December but want to start my tri training shortly after. I am lacking in my swimming skills and although I teach spinning at the University of Central Flordia gym I know road biking is much different. My biggest worry right now is the cost of getting started because I do not have a bike. I am 5'8" with a 33" inseam and I live in Orlando, Fl. Do you know of any deals in my area? I have been searching craigs list but I never know what is good or bad
ReplyDeleteWell for triathlons I would highly suggest a bike that is aerodynamic. As triathlons are not draft legal finding a bike that you are aerodynamic on will make a huge difference for you. Other than that, if you are looking for bikes on craigslist I would look for a bike that seems to work well and is in good condition.
