That's such a sweet bike. And tempting, but I've found myself contemplating getting out of the triathlon game a lot lately.
I saw your thread over on BT, too. Sorry you weren't able to get it dialed in.

Oh how I hate to hear that about your bike. I LOVE my QR and if I hadn't gotten one myself, I would so be tempted to take it off your hands. Good news on the run though.....29:55 in a tri is awesome.
DH and I time trial on Tuesday evenings with the tri club and have often wondered if we took our road bikes on the course if we would have the same time as our TT bikes or even faster
Wouldn't that be a kick in the pants?

OK, I have one more appointment with my fitter for tomorrow afternoon. If he can't help me, no one can!

Bike no longer for sale!!
IT WAS THE WHEELS!!! (I posted over on BT as well)
I was at my wits end and ready to toss the bike into the ditch when I decided that before I totally gave up, I'd try one last thing. I didn't expect it to work, but I put my road bike wheels on my tri bike. OMG - what a HUGE difference!!! There is something seriously wrong with my QR stock wheels!
I did a 22 mile loop yesterday with a lot of non-functioning gears (the 9 spd cassette on the 10 spd bike was not playing nice with no adjustment!) and I had a blast. Last night I put a 10 spd cassette on it and I'll take it out for a final shake-down ride this evening and I'm actually looking forward to it!!
I only wish I'd tried it sooner.

Yay! I'm glad you finally solved this one. Time to get your fun on and really enjoy your bike!
(Um, also time for new properly functioning wheels. Heh.)
