How Robbie Wade had the luck of the Irish for the Cap Tex Triathlon

kgsbikes — Sun, 29 May 2011 19:49:38 +0000

While KGS custom triathlon bicycles provide huge improvements in performance for triathletes, few triathletes come investigate. Most either follow what is on Slowtwitch or are so risk averse that it could take over a year before they would consider even having their positions checked, much less consider a change. When pro triathlete Robbie Wade had [...]

When the best is not the best – The SRAM Red front derailleur

kgsbikes — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 21:41:43 +0000

Most of the bicycles that roll out of KGS Bikes have Campagnolo componentry. Campagnolo does not currently have an 11 speed bar end shifter for time trial bikes, however, though rumors abound regarding a shifter to be introduced this fall. The first SRAM Red equipped KGS / Parlee custom triathlon bike was completed recently and [...]

KGS Bikes BalancePoint™ Setup bike 2.0

kgsbikes — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 00:03:31 +0000

At KGS Bikes, finding one’s perfect position is standard procedure. Many times, however, clients have asked, “How do I know that this position will work where I ride?” This is a legitimate question. Over the holidays I found a second setup bike frame that was the same as my original. I have done lots of [...]

What a saddle adjustment can do to a 70.3 time!

kgsbikes — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 18:24:31 +0000

I had an emergency call from my friends Mark and Julie Crosno last week as something had changed on her bike setup. I cleared my calendar and drove to Houston the next day as Julie was distraught, this close to the Ironman 70.3 Worlds in Clearwater. I wrote about this in the Ezine last week. [...]

KGS Bikes – Buddy Can you Spare Some Change, or Why Triathletes Resist

kgsbikes — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 15:12:13 +0000

The triathlon season is upon us and I am talking to people who have suffered a bad position on their bike for much of last season, stating that they couldn’t afford to change. This is a fascinating phenomenon and I believe I can understand why. Triathlon is an endurance sport and as such, repetitive strain [...]

I am always on the internet, blogosphere, you name it, building relationships one at a time for KGS Bikes. My business is involved in helping others move forward through cycling and one of the joys of this job is crossing paths with people who are working incredibly hard for their passion. As my friends know, [...]

Triathlon as a spectator sport

kgsbikes — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 02:59:19 +0000

I have had a chance to get out of the studio and go to a few triathlons lately. I will be going to many more. I see why triathlon is growing while bicycle racing is not. The sight of all these people facing their own limits is very cool. Additionally, I have a new found [...]

KGS Bikes – Comparing Lance, a Professional Triathlete and You

kgsbikes — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 01:40:33 +0000

Have you ever wondered what goes into Lance Armstrong’s bike? Do you know what separates his bike from his teammates? If you were a pro triathlete, and a bike manufacturer gave you a bike for sponsorship, how would that make you feel? As a “regular person” what kind of technology can you get in cycling, [...]

Parlee Z4, Z5 and Stock TT – Another way to get the best

kgsbikes — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 01:07:21 +0000

I just received a call from a Facebook friend interested in a Parlee Z5. While I don’t inventory stock Parlees I do offer them to folks who are confident that they know what they want. Not everyone wants to travel to San Antonio to get a custom KGS bike with a custom positioning. Here is [...]
