I have a std 2006 Giant CRX 2 which I am looking to do some longer road rides on (50-100Km) and i would love to hear from anyone with ideas on what i could do to the bike to make it faster.
Wear a very long tear drop helmet, wear a skinsuit, get clipless pedals, get clip on tri-bars, GET POSITIONED CORRECTLY, don't wear gloves, use Pro2race tyres, use correct tyre pressure, put a rear disk on, use a HED3 front wheel, thats about it.
Oh yeah, put a drink bottle on your seat tube ONLY
I have a friend who just upgraded to a CRX 2 from an Avanti Blade. As far as we can see, all he needs to do now is change the fuel to Premium UnLeaded.

A Kurt Kinetic trainer, a few Spinerval training DVD's and a regular structured training program. Anything else you could just go out an buy is hardly worth mentioning in comparison. If you really have some money to burn, maybe a Powertap power meter to start a power based training program.
silicon compounds are great but they do cut very easily - try the vitoria rubino pro , at least with these you´ll not be picking glass etc out of the tyre after every ride ( but you should check )
06 CRX2 was my first bike which was a great bike for the $. I'm with the get fitter stonger crowd as that is what has happened with me. For a SOF it goes great.
