My current bike position:
The ride line is where I think my arms would be most comfortable, with rectangle intended to indicate a wider and further rearward armrest position. Since my current Easton bars are not adjustable, I think I may sell them and use my prior Vision set up. My Vision clip-ons have a ski bend and have the armrests positioned further rearward.
Also, maybe I could lower my seat 1cm or so (and lower the front end by the same amount).
Any input?
I will post a video one of these days...
EM,
ReplyDeleteI don't think we can tell much by this picture. But your position looks really good. Do post some video (about :30 worth at an Ironman-comparable intensity, shot after you've been pedaling a while, if possible) and it'll give me a better idea.
A few questions...
1) Any discomfort over a long enough period of time? In other words, can you hold this position for 5 hours?
2) If there are any specific aches or pains, where do they occur?
3) Do you feel a change is necessary, regardless of aches or pains?

One reason video works better, of course, is to see your full range of movement during an entire pedal revolution. The knee-to-elbow relationship is important and this picture doesn't quite do it in this regard.
