    Hey, just saw this set up and was exactly what I wanted to install. Unfortunately both bolts attaching the trek aero bars to the original mono riser sheared off completely during a 70.3 and caused me to hit the road at 60km/h. After googling this problem a lot of others have had the same bolts snap on them, so I’d highly recommend you replace the original bolts you used here to attach the adaptor plate to the mono riser with something denser perhaps. Ends up being such a large amount of side to side leverage placed on two weak bolts. Frustratingly I just found a large crack in the carbon top tube, so not even sure if mine is repairable yet!

    I am 5' 6" tall (170cm) and have 29" leg length. I experimented and modified my crank arms to 155mm with GREAT success. It's as simple at this: Why would I use an arm fitted for someone with 33-35" legs (or longer)? The range of available road bike arms are (generally) limited to 1.0 cm. (165-175) A sampling range of 6" leg length differences is 14cm !!!! Well, I learned. My Zwift output went up about 10watts and the fluidity which I ride with is perfect FOR ME. Good awareness. Thank you.

    While riding my road bike I feel the need to periodically move my bum back in the saddle. I find that over the course of my ride, my bum tends to move forward and I then have to keep repositioning it further back. I feel the need to do this because I am uncomfortable closer to the nose of the saddle and I feel my legs aren’t extending enough as I paddle. Can you explain why this is happening and what I need to do?

    I'm having some hip impingement since my last bike fit. Would moving the saddle more forward open up the hip?

    • @custombikefit466
      @custombikefit466 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's hard to give advice without seeing you on the bike. Moving the saddle forward can open up the hip angle, but it can also cause issues. Moving the armrests up may be a safer option. By all means email me at setup@custombikefit.com

    Cool honest review 👌🏻 I'm a giant trinity & propel owner. But also a specialized fan boy tbh. But same I went with the Trinity and propel, vs. The venge and transition at the time... because of price; because the spec version of similar bikes were 2,500 to 3,000 $ more in price but the transition when observed had a faulty fork/headset design that rubbed itself to crumble on its proprietary edges when turning the fork all the way to left/right for car fitment. Which seemed like a design fail on specs part. So I got the Trinity and never looked back. Upgraded from a Kestrel Talon TT bike, been happy ever since. wba. I don't feel the NEED to upgrade it, since everything I ride it, people say "nice NEW bike". And they are surprised when I tell them it's like 5 or 6 years old, really. It is at the higher echelon of tt tech IMHO, so I'm staying w it for many a year. Done.

    Hi I liked the ISM Reef but it kept breaking and the leather came away after 6 mths. They think it's because I'm riding on the nose too much, but I don't actually, I'm quite central. So I've ordered the PN4.1 hoping that it'll be a bit more robust, do you think it'll be okay?

    I doubt you're still helping with fits 5 years later, but I just wanted to mention that I've been riding a pn3.1 40 for about four years now and I can never ride for more than an hour before my sit bones are on fire. I'm going through some videos today to see if there are any adjustments I can make to help with that. Height, fore and aft, tilt etc. I will say that ISM has amazing customer service. If you call, odds are the owner or his wife will answer the phone, this is the guy who designed these saddles and he's more than willing to spend some time aking sure you choose the right saddle for your needs and if there is an issue they'll take care of it. I just wish I could find a way to make this saddle comfortable for long rides.

The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.
