Furthermore, it will still have road geo, which you may or may not like for the track (and lower bottom bracket, which could potentially be problematic)
Well I was talking about the build with a good friend of mine that works at our local bike shop, he was thinking the best option would be eccentric hubs, but about the geo, I have it set up as a TT/Triathlon racing bike so the geo is a lot more stretched out compared to a typical road bike at least in the rider stance. Would it be that huge of a difference from track geo? I have never ridden a track bike or even really researched track racing, I've just recently just started getting interested as I've reached pretty much my peak in triathlon racing I am looking for some new bike events.
Edit: And sorry forgot to ask, road bikes have lower BB? Does that mean clipping pedals when your going around?
