  • Yes, I tried tribars on my road bike, but the fixed bike just seems faster and with tribars the road bike is no more comfortable. Did 2:15:24 yesterday on 87" on the H50/1, and unless I've read the GPX file all wrong the P885 is no more challenging than that.

    I've ridden the P885/25 on fixed and done 1.2.28, which is quite good for me, nowadays.
    I found the gift hill at the start a bit of a problem on fixed (and with only a front brake), particularly as,at the time, I wasn't expecting it and didn't know the road.

    Naturally the effect of one hill is going to be less in a 50, but if you have a chance to look at the road before the event I'd advise you to do so.
