Trek Equinox TTX reversible seat post ?
I'm a road bike guy. I ride in Tuesday night races and race cross. I recently bought a used Equinox TTX 9.0 from a friend as I'm tired of doing 40 km TT's on my road bike.
This Equinox has a seat post that you can flip to get a steeper angle. It's in the forward position as the bike has been used for ironman. I'm not running after my ride so I flipped it back.
Is there a reason for a roadie to keep it in the steeper position?
I'm also swapping the 53/39 Bontager crank for a new Ultegra 52/39 I had from another project. I'm a 155 pound rider that can't spin a 53/11 unless I'm going downhill. I usually spin around 110-115 racing.
Will one tooth less make a big difference in a TT bike?
If I leave the Hawaii ironman stickers and numbers on, will it make me faster?
