Damian, I agree with Tjalling and Daryl, 53-11 should be plenty for triathlons. The only time I would suggest a 55-11 would be for Ski-to-Sea and then pull the...

Damian, Forget chain rings. In your quest for top speed, I highly recommend you switch to the preying mantis position: [Image of Graeme Obree in the quest for...

I have one you can borrow. It is missing one wheel, so you could either replace that wheel or just pull it along with 3. Email me directly if you think you...
Just curious, is there anything happening with practicing the course this weekend, on Sunday? I'd like to get out there, though I'm sure I wouldn't be able to...
The road bike course is fast - really really fast. Last year I was spinning out on a few sections because there was no way I could pedal fast enough. I didn't...

Keep me posted as well, as I may be in. I need a team to ride for, since my running injury is preventing me from doing the running leg. Anyone have a team in...
