What a saddle adjustment can do to a 70.3 time!

kgsbikes — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 17:54:15 +0000

I had an emergency call from my friends Mark and Julie Crosno last week as something had changed on her bike setup. I cleared my calendar and drove to Houston the next day as Julie was distraught, this close to the Ironman 70.3 Worlds in Clearwater. I wrote about this in the Ezine last week. Well, [...]

Ciamillo/Zero Gravity chooses KGS Bikes for Elite 50

kgsbikes — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 22:51:12 +0000

In the land of brake calipers, the big manufacturers, Campagnolo, Sram and Shimano all make great brakes, but there are some small companies trying to wrestle market share by doing a better job at stopping with style. I have always liked the Zero Gravity brakes and liked them even more with improvements that came year [...]

Reply from Topolino from our BikeTech post in Ezine

kgsbikes — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:08:01 +0000

I had written a short BikeTech post in our last Ezine answering a question regarding my opinion of the best triathlon wheels. I incorrectly stated the weights of the Topolino VX4.0 wheels and wanted to correct this by sharing an email from Geoffrey Falkner at Topolino: Kevin, thanks for the support and testimonial. Our VX4.0 are only [...]

Do you train in the rain or the dark?

kgsbikes — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 21:33:33 +0000

Now that fall is upon us I hear many people discussing their training options and the range is quite large! Some say they will ride outside even if it is dark or rainy. I call this the Belgian approach, because the weather over there is so wet and cold. Many others switch to spin bikes [...]

Why does a triathlete need a road bike?

kgsbikes — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 11:28:02 +0000

Does a triathlete need a road bike? Well, of course not! You don’t “need” anything more than a bicycle to be a triathlete. If you are wanting to really improve your triathlon times, however, a good road bicycle is quite important. Taking the often used phrase I learned from an automobile racer, “The best you [...]

Does your seatpost limit your saddle angle?

kgsbikes — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 09:59:45 +0000

The seatpost is a part of bicycles that gets lots of attention for style points. Some people like straight posts, others set back. Many carbon seatposts are on the market and some are incredibly light. The function of the seatpost is to locate the saddle in the right place for your body. It is not rotating [...]

What does your ankle have to do with saddle height?

kgsbikes — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 19:04:19 +0000

When I am helping people find their perfect position on the bicycle, saddle height is one of the many dimensions we discover in a BalancePoint™ session. While people consider the knee joint as the only significant articulation, the ankle is in fact an articulation as well. This makes a single joint movement a compound movement, [...]

What is an easy day in training?

kgsbikes — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 20:15:48 +0000

There is a big difference in the way elite athletes train vs “weekend warriors.” The biggest difference I notice is the range of intensity. The pros “hard days” are incredible. Combined with lots of training volume, the amount of work performed in some of these harder workouts must be seen to be believed. On the [...]

kgsbikes — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 20:24:32 +0000

Since the triathlon season is winding down soon, I am getting more calls from folks wanting advice on their tri bikes plus info on road bikes. Because of the recent boom in the bike business, many people have bicycles less than two years old and want to know what I recommend given the state of [...]
