  • Added a few bits to the P3X and took it out for a ride. My last road bike was in 1987, so this was a HUGE leap forward!
    I also address the obvious accusation that the bike just sums up the "all the gear, no idea" approach. Hint......it doesn't !!!

    Love your channel Mark and your positive outlook. I'm also on a similar journey to you having lost 40kg in the last 12 months and doing my first 70.3 ironman this summer. I just turned 50. Love that analogy too! Keep up the great content.

    Great bike. Love the content (started watching when you had the 701). Look forward to seeing how the dualathlon’s go.

    Amazing bike, all it is, is patience and persistence. Every day you will get better and better on those tri bars and it will feel like second nature. I’m still currently trying to gain confidence in riding my road bike without touching my handlebars, every day i get closer and closer.

    Great bike mark! A few tips for you, 1) take the bottle off the front to begin with so you can see through the bars and allows you to adjust the bars and position far more easily. 2) you bike fit should get you in a better position but I suggest high sided arm cups like Kismit ones, being a bigger athlete like me this will help you push into the sides and create a stable platform in the bars. 3) enter as many local TT events as possible this will get you used to how to ride this at pace on some decent roads in a safe environment.

    Favero Assioma powermeter pedals. I have some and they are truly excellent bits of kit. Absolutely plug and play, no faffing. Connect every time, straight away. They just work.

    If it fits your budget, go for the best option available. Always. Worst case would be that you stop pursuing the hobby or sport further. Then you can at least sell the kit for a marginal loss. And if you keep going on, you will always grow into the kit, not hitting a wall at some point and being forced to throw out additional money down the line.

    Great analogy, I have a top tier age group triathlete friend who rides the exact same bike they are amazing and I know you will go on in style in June

    The bit at the bottom where the brake levers is called the base bar. You'll definitely get used to unclipping. Been riding bikes clipped in since I was 12 (16 years) and it's as natural as breathing.
