Is there an advantage to haveing 650c tires? I see a lot of tri bikes go with the smaller tire, but most road bikes go with a 700 tire? Is the 650 faster? The reason I am asking is because I am looking into buying a tri bike and the one I am keen on has 650's, but I don't want that slowing me...
I turned 16 last month and have never competed in a tri. Most of the reason is that I have no bike. I don't have a lot of money, so I've been looking for the best deals. I thought about WalMart for about a second before I realized that was the worst thing I could do for myself. So, does...
I'm looking to do my first triathlon next spring. I was a competitive swimmer all through grade school, high school, and college, I've done a few open water swims of up to 10k, and I currently run a 42 minute 10k and have run 6 marathons. So I'm not fussing about the first and last legs.

My 9 year old son is getting interested in Tri's and has been showing me a commitment to it for about a month now. One major issue I have is his bike - he currently has a typical "kids trick/stunt" bike. I want to get him a true road bike. Does anyone have any advice about a good youth...
I am a college student and a tri beginner. I did my first tri in may with a mountain bike and struggled on the bike. I want to invest in a road bike but i do not have a huge amount of money to invest in a bike right now. Does anyone have any advice on how to get a bike or any bikes that are...
I am trying to find some general info and am having no luck.
My question is three-fold:
1) While I dont know my "official" RHR or MHR, they are likely 'round 60-65 and 180-190, respectively. What concerns me is that just putting on my shoes rockets my HR into the 90s and walking sends my HR...
<img src="http://www.triathlonweek.com/images/news/triathlon2.jpg" align="left" class="left">I got a question this week from a triathlete struggling to build up mileage on his triathlon bike. This is a common challenge for triathletes. The trick here is to build mileage slowly and...
Does anyone know if there is an "official" bike rack spec (transition) for triathlons? I want to make up a few racks for my triathlon club to use when we train and do practice runs on the triathlon courses in the area.
I just did my first sprint Tri on a hybrid/mountain bike, Specialized Hard Rock (I think it's 97 or 98) with smooth tires and did pretty good (bike rank 430 out of 2612). But I am thinking I could do much better with a road bike.
However, I don't know anything about road bikes.

I wanna buy a new bike. I dunno what kind to get.. I think I want to get one from Human Zoom in Ardmore - as that's where I spend most of my "quality" time. My last few bikes I got from Bike Line (which Human Zoom split from). Cadence, where I do my triathlon training, also sells bikes. Bike...
I am a new triathlete and have not competed in one as of yet. I have been running most of my life though and decided that doing a tri would be a lot of fun. I just purchased my first road bike yesterday. I have never ridden long or even short miles on a road bike before. My question is does...

I introduced my self in the intro section the other day. I am very new at this. I have a long way to before I am ready to compete, but my goal is to compete next spring or summer. I played college football and therefore know what it is to make sacrifices for my body. However, I have "let...
As I grow in my triathlon training, I am finding that experience is making me almost a little too weary of my environment. Specifically, and among other things, training on my bike in Los Angeles.
My question is, if I'm following a training schedule and it calls for a bike workout 3 times a...
Hi, I am a very tall man, and I am looking to upgrade to a full triathlon bike. I was wondering if anyone had any advice for me as to what bike they recommend. I am about 6'5", with long legs and arms, and I was looking in about the $1800-$2500US range. Thanks!!
Well my wife today closed the garage door on my bike. It came down on the top tube and put a very small dent in it. I want to emphasize that it is a very small dent. There is also a small chip of paint missing. The bike is made of aluminum and it is a Cannondale. I am sure it is alright to ride...
