This looks so awesome. Very interesting.

+1 for tririg brakes. I'd also be looking at the tririg stem to hide my Junction Box and act as a cable stop for the front brake (if its in front of the fork). Then have all my cables coming out the back of the stem and into the top of the top tube. You'll get a virtually cable free front profile.

I'm guessing Sherrit covered this. But I'd base my position heavily on being fresh for a run. All the Aeros in the would wont save you time, if the position affects Your running.

Great stuff. Sub'd

I'd also be looking at the tririg stem

Nobody should be looking at the TriRig stem

I know it's ugly tester, but rule 3, rule 3.

Also, More aeros for tri rig on the front, or rear of the fork. I assume that it is supposed to work facing out...

just moved the pads rather than the whole bars as a, still getting to grips with aerobars on BCAD

When you do get around to it, drop the base even more with a -17° stem

@Smallfurry yes scherrit has covered that, hence the high front end and slackish seat tube.

Isn't a slack seat tube the opposite of a conventional triathlon position?

They're bulky, I think you'd struggle to fit one behind the fork. Cable routing would be interesting.

You should really be making your own stem with an integrated cable stop so you can just run a bare cable down to the Omega.

The TriRig stem has both a compartment for the Di2 juction Box, and an Integrated cable stop. Plus it routs the cables behind neatly. I'd get one for the AR if it wasnt too short, and look too flexi for roadbike use.

FWIW
I recently did around 15,000m of technical descending on my New TriRig front brake. Worked brilliantly.

Yes, but scherrit doesnt recommend me to be perched on the end of the saddle for 112 miles, as it wouldn't be sustainable. Seat tube is slightly forward from where it would normally be.

I can tae chunks out of the DT to fit the brake if it helps, but if claims of zero added frontal area are true, then there is no need..

@Smallfurry that is confidence inspiring, I am of similar build and size to you, and won't be doing any descending of note on them.

Frontal area increase depends how big your fork is... Is there the possibility of a custom v brake mounted behind the fork?

Or a direct mount (behind the fork)

Theres TRP v brakes that I could fit behind the fork, I could make one, but don't really see the point...

Fork is blank canvas within reason (legs already decided on), so can be made to work with tri rig if it is relatively (theoretically) simple to do.

Have sorted headgear, and facial expression for max aeroz.

Literally no reason to go for a direct mount conventional brake wherever you mount it, you're still going to have a bit dangling out in the wind causing drag.

I think a Direct Mount would offer better braking than those pretend mini-Vs. But as both require a noodle/cable to skirt around the fork. A front mounted TriRig seems at least as neat With its Central cable. Plus it'd far easier to build in.

Ditch the brakes, sew a parachute onto the back of your jersey

Also, I think Spanx would help your Aero

get disc brakes, duh.

also, this bike will have chevrons.
That is all.

STR 1.35 more like a TT bike.

@fussballclub where have you measured that from?

In theory there shouldn't be any change in actual position, just whats going on below the bars.

515:381

If you have a look, you can see the pads floating in midair. That should be in the original position, as will the extensions..
