Meet Jagger!
Jagger is a Jamis Xenith T 2011 Time Trial bike. I can't wait to ride him!!!! Now I just need to get pedals and shoes for him. Anybody have any suggestions?
I use speedplay pedals. I've experimented with many types and finally settled on these because I was able to get them in a longer length for a better fit. Some people prefer the Look as it is a wider platform but it is personal preference. Stay away from SPD unless you do a lot of spin classes as they can lead to hotspots at times.
WRT shoes, go with cycling shoes to start rather than tri shoes. Comfort is paramount.
It’s not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, who’s face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.
