Norseman equipment: the bike

Go to any triathlon web site and you will see that the bike plays an important part of the triathlon brain. Most triathletes will never get tired of discussing, arguing and thinking of bikes. Why? Bikes are fun, they are mechanical, you can upgrade, change parts and most of all like with wheels you can buy speed.

 

The Norseman course is different than many other triathlon courses. At Norseman I will climb, time trail, go downhill, the surface will constantly change, it can be windy, you will need good breaks. Actually it is hard to find one bike that can do it all.

 

This is my setup:

Frame: Cervelo S5

Gruppo: Ultegra Di2

Crank: Roto compact

Clip on aerobars: Profile Design with Di2 shifters

Wheels: Mavic 40C

Bottle chases: some plastic
