This TYR Hurricane 5 has pluses and minuses, and usually the pluses cause the minuses. I swam in this suit, juxtaposing it with a De Soto T1 Concept 5. Here are the results.

Part-1 of a two-part overview of current tire offerings, clincher and tubular, for all major brands. Consider this an “as-of-early-2012” summary of what’s out there. We focus primarily on tires sold as race-intended.
Sit back in your easy chair and curl up with The Tale of Two Torsos, featuring slices and grafts down the chest, and the question of whether or not to sever arms. Sounds like Poe short story.
Andreas Böcherer will be very dangerous in Abu Dhabi and it is a bit surprising that his name has not been mentioned more often. We took a look at his Felt DA race bike.
Dirk Bockel has finished 3rd and 2nd in Abu Dhabi and maybe the 3rd time will be the charm. Today we take a look at his 2012 Team Leopard Trek Speed Concept.
These shoes run great, but there’s more to it. They felt so comfortable I started wearing them to my job in my running and triathlon store. I always get tired feet. But not in these.
Damon Rinard and Phil White of Cervelo talk about the Cervelo P5 and explain some of the features of this brand new triathlon bike.
I assembled Trek’s Speed Concept 9-Series tri bike last year. I was prepared for the integrated Bontrager aerobar to be a disappointment. I was more than pleasantly surprised.
I got the GC Aero as a bare frame, building it up with a mix of parts that I wanted to test. This bike shares something very appealing in common with certain other bikes that I particularly like.
Split nose saddles: I separate these into two categories, those that appear like standard saddles, creating a fjord out of what in other saddles is a lake; versus wide split-nosed saddles like the ISM.
Are there differences between how you sit, and what you do, aboard a saddle on a road bike versus a tri bike? Yes. Two differences, and they’re big. What makes this possible? Handlebar design.
We’re going to be writing about saddles a lot during the first part of 2012. Let’s start with why road saddles are made the way they are, and why you can throw it all out the window when mounting a tri bike.
Asics has labeled this shoe natural which, according to the orthodoxy of today, it is not. Nevertheless, a terrific shoe it is. Sail over the squabble between what is and isn’t natural, here’s a great lightweight trainer.
