I have ride only once when i buy test ride i buy used and the bottom bracket had some play need replace i think. The crank is 53/39 and have 9 speeds cassette 12-25.The wheels is mavic cxp-10. How is looks that setup i leave the bike as is and put new bottom bracket? I have wheels fulcrum racing T i was think put in the TT bike or is better i leave the mavic wheels i not race but i love to ride. Is my first TT bike for some reason i do like TT bikes much more than road bikes. 11-28 9 speeds cassette is have big gaps between gears? i mean if used in flat terrain but in hills too? when you swap cassettes you use the same chain? or need different chain length each cassette? I have one steel road bike i do sprint in flat bike trail i do max speed 27 miles that is sounds low? I have this time 53/39 crank and 12-25 cassette. i tried go 30 miles max speed but i could.
Hey bobby1966 Seeing you bought your TT bike used and your bottom bracket you might want to give it a complete tune up, or bring it to a shop for them to do it. Wheels are more of a personal preference and I love my tri spokes even know they are a tad heaver that normal wheels. I don't change the chain out when switching to different cassettes. Hills really depend on the person, I've used my Zipp in a ton of events with over 10,000 - 15,000 feet of climbing. I'm a bigger guy but I do spend a lot of time doing hills, like I said it's a personal thing. I never listen to others who say you can't do this or can't do that. That just means they can't and I'm not them. Go out and ride and enjoy your TT Bike. Check out the finished video of the TT bike.
