How To Get Aero & Comfortable | Triathlon Bike Comfort & Aerodynamics

What are your tips for getting comfortable & aero? Let us know!

[@aldouztek2784]

Wear well fitted full finger gloves, especially if you have sweaty palm problem

[@seths3989]

Head on over to GCN!

[@trepidati0n533]

Time and test....and more time and test. It is a journey I think for most people but I think people need to respect that getting there is like all other aspects of this sport...time and test. My current theory is it will take most people a year two of actively working on it to actually get there. If it isn't comfortable...it isn't right.

Ride a recumbent.

Which shoes is she wearing? Are they a new colorway in the r1?

[@domestik834]

Needed to play the video twice because of this awesome dazzle-camouflage-look of the frame.

[@zwamman]

Stretching quads is also important. A lot of people pedal knees out on the top of the pedal stroke because of limited knee flexion.

Riding Berk Dila 140mm on my road bike *and* on my TT. Very happy with them.

Very helpful videos GTN ! I’m putting aero bars on my bike in a week. Will apply these tips. Peace be with you

[@donaldfreeman6713]

How are you doing with the aero bars

[@brianharris706]

Thank you for asking , I love them. I put Profile Design on a Giant TCR. I really put in effort in techniques I saw in this video. Very well done as usual from GTN. In April doing sprint Triathlon. Have a peaceful day 🚴‍♂️

[@scotts6067]

I'm much more comfortable on my Tri-bike than my road bike (weird I know). All the pressure on my road bike is on my butt and hands. I do like the visibility on my road bike though.

[@dzat]

Scott S yeah me too...

[@Yamaha_Bolt]

An entire video on the best tt shorts please. All seem to have seems in fro t which makes no sense. Pro tips appreciated for all issues re triathlon shorts please. Love the videos. You guys should blow through 1M subscribers in 2020

[@cneccc1a26]

A bit of advice: the background noise is way too loud at around 3:20. My ear is complaining non-stop. Otherwise a great video: about to buy my first tri bike on Sunday, had no experience setting one up, this vid helps a lot!

[@eingast7798]

What particular streching excercises increase the flexibility I need to get more "aero"?

[@HanVer-x3y]

#gtncoachescorner Hello, I struggle with the ratio between aero and ventilation to find a suitable triathlon bicycle helmet because I am a heavy sweater. a TT helmet with visor is usually too warm and lacks the necessary ventilation, sweat keeps dripping on my visor and it steams up. a "normal" aero bicycle helmet with glasses is possible, but then you have the same problem on the glasses without the small advantage of the TT helmet. I sometimes wear a gripgrab summer skull cap, but it's a take or give in terms of heat output through my head, especially from half-distance races. What advice can you give for heavy sweaters in the aero bars and the choice of helmet?

[@aamirnagaria2189]

I love that bike 😍

[@freewheels7544]

0:16 up right?! Boy , i feel like i'm doing limbo every time i go for a ride

[@dzat]

A good bike fittings for me is essential to get the best comfortable position on the TT bike

[@kevintelian8475]

Hey Mark, what mount do you use for your polar bike computer? yours looks perfectly fitting but i could not find a identical one for polar, only for garmin.

[@vanessakennedy9046]

Where can I buy an aero repair kit/saddle bag like Mark's?

[@osh111]

damn, i dot have a good running technique and i would be last ouf of the water cuz i dont know how to swim.

[@R6ex]

What stretches?

[@stephenhendry447]

I am looking at doing my first half Iron this year. My bike however is a Giant Defy. Is this a massive problem or still doable ?

[@gtn]

We don't ride Giant's but we know it's doable 🙂

[@gourami7]

Crunches ! A lot easier if you already ride in tuck with bent elbows on road bike..

[@deffdepth824]

Abandon any relationship you may have because they are in fact not aero.

[@PolarBear9733]

Water bottles mounted on the inside of the frame are not so aero😧

[@demacherius1]

Thats one sexy Bike !

[@paulsemerau1474]

How about for 2020 we don’t use the term “game changer” anymore. If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard that in a group ride I’d be rich and not no what flipping game I’m playing.

[@jameseaves71]

My TT bike is far more comfortable than my road bike.

[@endo9902]

you should consider an electric vehicle when filming these videos.. the motor sounds is terrible.
