Discussion: Bike setup for Nice
Subject: Bike setup for Nice By: David Tallo Written on: 2005-04-06 09:21:33 Message: As I have only the barest of facts about the course, wondering if anyone has suggestions for aerobar setup for IMFrance. Specifically, i'm using a set of visiontech integrated at the moment, but wondering if I should rethink this in light of climbs/descents. Any advice?

I appreciate it and sorry for the typos, I was at work. I hope you get some advice for your bike setup. Michelle

Although there was quite a bit of climb,descent...repeat, I plan on using an integrated bar. I think the key selection will be the cassette. As long as you have a go-to granny gear, you should be OK. On the N-8, which follows the Var river south, I was wanting to get as aero as possible due to the headwinds comming up from the coast. The winds on the flat areas were far more agravating than the climbing. JP

We should have the wind at our backs for the same sections traveling north...so we've got that going for us...which is nice.
