Time Trial Frame
admin | Saturday, October 31st, 2009 | No Comments »
Time Trial Bikes have frames which are essentially the same as a standard road bike only with much beefier and more aggressive looks with a massive emphasis on aerodynamics – in time trials the minute amounts of seconds shaved off due to these performance changes matter! Designed primarily for going as fast as possible, on a flat road in a straight line these bikes do not bear much resemblance to mountain bikes.
High seat angled are ensured to make the rider get as low down at the handlebars as possible to have an aerodynamic riding position.
Tube positions are in an aerodynamic position as are the seat post, handlebars and wheels.
Handlebars are normally tri bars (triathlon bars) which give a comfortable position and are also aerodynamic. These are usually made of carbon and were made famous in time trials by Greg Lemond in the 1989 Tour de France, he overcame a 50-second deficit in the final day’s time trial to win the Tour by 8 seconds from Frenchman Laurent Fignon.
Deep rimmed tyres are de facto standard, again for aerodynamic reasons, however it also reduces the number of spokes used due to the vertically rigid rim which creates further aerodynamic gains as well as weight reduction. A disc wheel is also common to create a less turbulent airflow.
