I've been competing in tri's for the last two years using my trusty bianchi road bike with clip on bars.
I am now thinking purchasing a TT bike as i doing 1/2 IM this year, but i 've been told by a Time trialist that i will get just as much benifit with a good set of aero wheels and also a TT bikes are not so good hills. Could anyone throw a bit more light on this subject please.
Cheers

My bike split last year was 5h43 on rolling hills and in tough wind, this year I am racing the exact same bike and hope to go sub 5h30. My advice, buy a nice set of racing wheels (tubbies).
Happy training.
