good video!
muy bueno
Now how do you propose that you get the shoes off while coming into transition. Would you take the cleats out of the pedals or repeat the process except backwards, leaving your shoes attached to the pedals.
Leave shoes attached to pedals.
thanks dude
That is one of the most helpful things I’ve found on the web. Most newbies don’t worry about transitions, but why not do them right from the beginning?
Great info.
Would I need to tighten anything on my shoes or pedals, it seems my shoes pop off the pedal quite easily. Also, my shoes drag on the ground when left on the pedals.. any thoughts?
You might want to go to the bike shop and check if the cleats need to be tightened. And in answer to the second question, dismount with the pedals at 3 and 9 o’clock so that they can’t touch the ground, but if they don’t come off when they drag then they should just rotate so they don’t drag on their own.
what model of shoes are those?
Looks smooth. I tried that on my trainer too but it was a cluster f$#. One problem was that I have 3 straps on each shoe to contend with. The other problem is that the right shoe straps open towards the chain ring on the right and flop against it. I worry that they’re gonna get caught. I’ll try having them lightly velcroed to keep them from hitting the drive train like you did but i have my doubts. Maybe I’ll just get new tri-specific bike shoes.
Looks good!
Until you get your foot right in the shoe, you can also leave your foot on the shoe, hold the back of the shoe through the loop (most tri bike shoes have them), and slide your foot in, check out the “Flawless triathlon transitions” video I posted a while ago, towards the end is another great demo WHILE BIKING, which is a bit more reality-looking. Good luck!
