Episode Increasing Bike Speed - 10 Ways to Save Watts and Ride Faster | Ep 545

0:00 19:54

In this episode of the Oxygen Addict Triathlon Podcast, Coach Rob provides ten tips for triathletes to increase their bike speed without the need to become a fitter, stronger rider.

Ordered in terms of time / power savings, he covers a range of low / no cost adjustments like shaving legs and wearing higher-quality, tighter-fitting tri suits, to those that require a sbigger investment such as aerodynamic helmets and deep-section wheels.

Additionally, Coach Rob discusses the value and power savings of optimising tyre choices and pressures, maintaining a clean drive chain, and considering aerodynamic hydration setups.

All improvements are quantified in terms of watts saved to offer clear insights into potential time gains and help listeners prioritise the most valuable to them.
