Here it is, the Specialized S-Work Transition. And like I said before, it has remained fairly OEM with a couple of "upgrades". The biggest change would be the Rotor Agilis crankset. I have really liked using these cranks, being stiff and light weight. I have put a lot of miles on this set when they were on my road bike. Matched with the Rotor rings, which help get rid of my dead spot in my pedal stroke. The rings can be added to almost all cranksets and are adjustable up to 5 positions. Depending on your bike fit and focus of ridding.
Added to the crankset is my powermeter. I couldn't imagine ridding a TT bike without power numbers sitting in front of my face. I choose the Quarq power meter for the price and easy interface with my headunit, the Garmin Edge 500. Quarg allows you to change your own battery as well, which is big for me. Triathletes put long miles on their equipment and for me to get to Kona and have something fail. Then I would be without power, and if I had to send the cranks back to the home office to have the batteries changed out. That normally takes 2 weeks to complete. I have really tired to balance speed with reliability in my equipment chooses for the Ironman.
For training and short races I am rolling on the Roval carbon star clincher wheels. These Rovals' are some of the most aero wheel out there today. They provide a smooth ride due to the carbon hoop and cut through the head and cross winds with ease. This is because of the star hub, which allows the spokes to track straight down to the hub flange. When up to speed these wheels just feel like there is nothing there. I haven't decided on race wheels yet. Will post as soon as I have made my choose.
