Rule #5 .

Hearing voices is a pretty common psych symptom, but you're the first person I have seen who hears talking sphincters. I'd suggest getting that looked at.

Otherwise, if you really need to swipe 25 year old snark from Wayne's World, it's probably time to buy a new joke book.

Here's part of the article

What?s the difference between a triathlon bike and a TT bike?

Bike fit

In a time trial, a cyclist’s only concern is getting to the finish line as fast as possible, leaving them completely spent after an all-out effort when they get off their TT bike. A triathlete has the run to deal with afterwards, which often means a more forgiving set-up. A triathlete will generally want their forearms wider apart on the aero extensions, and bent at a slight angle at the shoulder down to the elbow. Having the seat tube on their tri bike further forward also puts less pressure on the hips and hamstrings.


The add-on accessories needed to tackle a swim/bike/run race and achieving a position that helps the triathlete to save their legs for the run are the things that ultimately set apart a triathlon bike from a time trial bike; and it goes without saying, it’s always worth getting a professional bike fit to optimise your own position if you’re looking to buy your first tri bike.
