Hi all,
This is my first post and I am hoping you might be able to help me. Last year I entered a couple of sprint distant events and am looking for ways to improve my time. I know that most of it will come down to training hard but would like your opinions on which of the following would make the biggest difference.
1. Clip on Tri bars + new tyers
2. New wheels
3. New gears
I can probably afford to buy one per season and as a begginer dont really know where to start. The bike I have is a 2011 Specialized Alles sport.
Any thoughts ?

A lot to take in but stick with it, you should also read this

Some people also take the saddle off, rotate it 180deg and put it back on, this has the effect of altering the saddle position in relation to the BB
Having said all that it is worthwhile getting a bike fit
The second purchase would be some aero wheels!
As for the gears I wouldn't bother changing them, they're pretty good on the Allez!.......If you reach the point where your unhappy with the gears, it's Time to upgrade your whole bike to some nice Carbon! and you could then use your Allez for training and social rides
