P3x ??
 

Hi fellows,

Is the P3X as good as it seems or is there something better in that price range?

On a side note, what type of Bike Stand are mechanics using for beam bikes?

Thank you

Good as it seems n what way, exactly?

If you're in the market for a triathlon bike, I think the TriRig Omni is far and away the best value available. It's the only one I'd consider if I was looking for a triathlon-only bike.

Hi, thanks for the tip. Why are you using a Felt AR instead of a TrigOmni?

I'm not a triathlete.

An AR isn’t even a tri bike.

The P3X is fine on the flat, but it’s heavy enough that even the “aero is everything” tri geeks don’t want to use it on courses that are hillier than gently rolling.

Hi, so what are the tri-geeks recommending these days in that price range?

Have you had a TT fit? It’s a whole different beast from a road fit, and you may take a size you wouldn’t expect and you might not fit any size of a given tri bike.

Why not just answer the question?

I need more information. You can see where I put my money when I bought one. But maybe someone else will tell you what you want to hear.

IMHO, post up on Slowtwitch.com

Some responses will be similar as in BF, but that forum is better equipped in terms of it being a triathlon forum. Not only that, fitters, vendors, and coaches routinely post advice.

Some of their first comments may be similar though, like obtaining a triathlon bike fit before looking at specific bikes. Different bikes can accommodate different fit coordinates sometimes to an extent it eliminates choices.

That's an expensive enough set of bikes (P3X or the Tririg that was proposed) that I would get a fit done before buying the bike.

It's just enough money you're spending I would steer you over there even though be have tri bike folks here, and a subforum for it here.

Good luck.

No thank you :)

I can't in good conscious really answer your question in the manner it appears you desire then. I can't do it as I don't believe doing so leads to the conclusion I would want for myself if I were out to buy a triathlon specific bicycle.

I'm out. Good luck either way.

Man, some real peaches in the 41 lately.

Cabin fever is going around lately. :lol:
