What is the difference between a road bike and a Tri Bike?
I have competed in a few Triathlons (sprint) and really want to step it up this summer. I used a mountain bike to compete and I get blown by. I noticed that there are road bikes and Triathlon bikes, what is the difference and what should I look for when purchasing a bike? (Carbon, aluminum frame, gears (how many?)) I have no idea, I just want to get a good starter bike for Triathlons.
If you are looking for a starter bike for triathlons, a road bike, which you can equip with clip on aero bars will probably be the best choice. To train, you will have to spend some time in the saddle out on the road, and a road bike is much safer for general road riding. The aggressive aero position of a tri bike puts the rider much farther forward over the front wheel hampering maneuverability, and brakes and gear levers are located in different areas, which is inconvenient for general riding. As for frame materials, aluminum will be the norm for entry level bikes, you will need a larger budget to think about carbon fiber. Gearing will be pretty easy, most road bikes are equipped with double chainrings in front, 10 cogs in back giving 20 possible gear combinations, of which about 16 are really useful. If you need a bigger range of gears for hills, you can opt for a compact crank, or even a triple if you really feel a need for a wide range of gears. My choice for an beginner would be a compact crank, much better shifting performance than a triple.
