Articles for Column: Kevin's Korner

Columns Kevin's Korner 2003 vs. 2004 Ksyrium SLs
I think the '03 Ksyrium SL's are vertically stiffer than the '04's.  Yes, I confirmed it today by swapping the wheels back to the '04's on the same bike.  At least the front wheel on the '04 SL's is a better, smoother ride.  I am surprised at this result. ... <more>

Columns Kevin's Korner Racing with a 42/44T inner chainring.
I particularly like racing with a 42T or 44T front chainring since my race pedal cadence is usually 105 - 110 on the flats. Running a 42 - 12 @ 100 rpm = 28.1 mph while a 42 - 12 @ 120 rpm = 33.7 mph. Add about 1.5 mph to both numbers if you have a 44T ... <more>

Columns Kevin's Korner Steel is Real!
I just read Mark's review of the LeMond Sarthe and I completely agree.  Although, by the current bikes I ride, you wouldn't know it.  I just sold an all carbon tri bike and now own two in aluminum/carbon (one is a 650 and the other is a 700), I also own ... <more>

Columns Kevin's Korner From road bike to tri bike - it's easy!
If you have a road bike that already fits (it has been sized by a professional at your local bike shop), then it is easy to convert it to a tri bike for occasional racing with the purchase of only two components. First, you must change the seat post to ... <more>

Columns Kevin's Korner Cranksets - For Show or Go?
At TgR, we love to try out new gear.  Although it becomes an expensive habit, the gear helps motivate me to get out of the bed at 4:30 a.m. to do a bike work out and then squeeze in a run at lunch as part of my very busy day.  A member of my local tri ... <more>

If you want to fly through T1 and T2 like the pros and top elite level triathletes, then follow these instructions, but make sure you practice this before race day. Pre-clip your shoes into the pedals with the straps open (held in place by the notch ... <more>

Columns Kevin's Korner The Night Shift
If you’re like most triathletes who have both a full time job and a family to interfere with training, then you likely train when the sun isn't shining.  Either in the morning before sunrise or in the evening, training in the dark is a regular occurrence.  ... <more>
