As most of you may know I am training for the IronMan race in Lanzarote
this coming May. As such I need to ride on my tri bars in training
What is the general consensus on using a bike with clip on TT bars
on a group ride? _______________ "We can't all be heroes because somebody has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by"

hey psycho, what do you mean by a sharp one? Is that fast, long, short, back early or what. As for riding with tri bars there is no problem as long as you stay at the back. The ride will go as normal at 9:30 but because of the races on sunday we can't ask those racing to go over mountains so we will have to see who's out and perhaps go where we went last week and keep it low key. Mind you last week wasn't so low key and if we do it again you won't need to worry about tri bars but rather a 25 tooth sprocket. see you saturday j.t.

There's no problem with you having them on your bike but they should not be used when riding in the bunch with the possible exception of when you're on the front. _______________ "The most important thing in life is not to have the most, but to need the least.” Plato (my favourite Disney character).

Thanks for the reply guys,
I will take all your comments into consideration.
Safety seems to be the rule here.
Jugs, a sharp one is a bit pacey, but if you want to put a
few undulations in, no problem  _______________ "We can't all be heroes because somebody has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by"
