Bontrager Race Lite vs. ALX 320 Wheelset
by jb4iu on March 16th, 2010
I am building up a tri bike now that I'm getting into triathlons. I picked up some brand new ALX320s at a good price. It seems they are decent wheels...come stock on some of the higher end QR Tri bikes and others. I was wondering if my '03 Bontrager Race Lite wheels on my road bike may be better suited (more aero)...any thoughts?
Women's blue seventy wetsuit fit?
by groovyjen on March 15th, 2010
Looking at a full reaction most likely. I'm 5'2 and about 137. Going by my vertical dimensions, I should be a WMS. Going by my horizontal dimensions, I should be a WM. The nearest dealer is about 90 min away, so I'n just going to take a chance with on-line ordering. I thought I'd see if other women were close to the edge of one size or another and if you had better luck stepping up or going down?

Favorite Tri shorts
by Maks Tri on March 15th, 2010
Hey everyone,
I have been using DeSoto tri shorts since i started doing triathlons.
Anyone has any suggestions on shorts that would be compareable to DeSoto in quality and in price. Any shorts you use that you really like?
Thanks everybody,
Maks
Gray wheels
by lovetoride on March 14th, 2010
Looking for a new wheelset. I have recieved some great advice from this forum and greatly appreciated it, thank you all. Anyway I would like to know any opinions on the Gray wheels maybe a 50mm front back or 50 95 set up. The price is great, the weight is unreal, and there made with hybrid ceramic bearings. What gives? They seem perfect if one only looks act the numbers.
The Newton Sir and Lady Isaac
by runbetty on March 14th, 2010
I recently wear-tested the Lady Isaac for my column. I liked them, but they definitely require an adjustment period. I noticed that a lot of triathletes wear Newtons. As someone who is new to tri, I'm interested as to why? Have you worn Newtons and what do you think? This is my first pair. If you're interested you can read the full review at:
NEW BIKE PURCHASE - OPINIONS PLEASE
by Ironmendo on March 13th, 2010
Hi,
As I decided a new bike purchase I've been paying attention to some new kids on the block. Aero, ergo and desing is very important to me, so after few considerations two contenders attracted my attention. The new QR CD01 and not so new Ridley Dean. I really need opinions and ideas here.
