Luggage rack

post by a luggage rack can break the seat
post and lead to serious accidents.

not to cover the front or rear lights or
reectors!
Avoid uneven loading of the luggage racks.

The seat and handlebar position of
time trial and triathlon bikes is con-
siderably different from that of con-
ventional racing bikes. Please allow special-
ists to advise you on the seating position of
your time trial or triathlon bike.
Time trial / triathlon handlebar attachment
The behaviour of a bicycle with a TT
handlebar or attachments can be
dangerously different to what you
are used to. The movement required of the
hands from the time trial position to the brake
or gear handles is also longer and unfamiliar.
Please practice this in a safe area until you
have mastered the controls of the bicycle.
