No more breaking position to shift. It takes me about a half hour to switch between his drop bars. It's a bit of a pain, but how many 13 year olds do you know who have separate road and TT bikes?

This blog is primarily my personal training and racing journal, and highlights of my kids activities. Not many opinions offered or politics discussed. Just riding and racing in the MN/WI area.
About Me
- JimmerC
- WI/MN, United States
- My son, Jordan, and I race bikes in MN and WI. I race for MBRC/Flanders, while Jordan races road for Chipotle Junior Devo and cross for Clif Bar Devo. I started racing in 1996, while Jordan started in 2005. My daughter, Maren, is attending the UofMN, majoring in Fashion Merchandising. I have the most understanding wife in the world.

i'm very much not 13 and i definitely don't have separate bikes...
lucky kid indeed. :) nice work.
When my kid is 13, he will have seperate road and TT bikes...Think he won't?
For the 'not really bike mechanically inclined' how's that work with the shifter and brake cables?
Dude,
If I'd have been riding I'd have gone with a Hed3 and disc, just like you. I like how the HED3 handles on windy days. And discs are just not that big of a deal.
The deep front wheels scare the bejeezus out of me. But nothing was as bad as riding with Metza on a windy day when he had his Spinergys. I'm glad the old Spinergys are gone.
