Subject: Aero Bike Positioning
I've ridden a road bike for years and this winter upgraded to a Tri-
Specific bike. Leaning over the bars is natural, although it hurts my
neck after a while and the power I feel after my T2 is really nice.
I'm weaving a bit all over the road, but I'm thinking with practice
that'll straighten out.
My question is, with my hands gripping the aero bars and the shifters
on the bar ends, and my fingers readily moving them up and down. At
what position should my perenium and the two Ischium bones be on the
saddle? What is the proper position? I have a Quintana Roo Tri
saddle that came with the bike, and it seems to be slightly
uncomfortable at times. I also have some bike shorts with a nice gel
chomois that helps.

Is there anyone out there that can show me pictures exactly of the
butt to saddle position I need. Most pics I see of people in the Aero
position are from the side and never up close and of the back, or the
picture is of someone sprinting in the aggressive position.

Any help would be great, thanks.

I don't think you can expect to achieve the same
level of butt comfort in a full-on aero position
as in a standard road position. That is one reason
roadies ride TT bikes for an hour tops and road bikes
for 5-hour rides/races. (The other being that you
don't need an aero position for mass start races,
but I digress). I guess that's why they call it
an Ironman. Anyway, the slowtwitch guy has about
a zillion ideas. I think there is some paticular
saddle that a lot of tri-geeks prefer.

If someone was fitting you for a different style of riding than what
you asked for, it wasn't a professional fitting.

You are attempting to isolate one specific element of the fit and that
just doesn't work. There are a lot of factors and they are all inter-
related. For all I know you could be shaped like a fire hydrant with
feet or you could be all arms and legs. If you get the precise
theoretical measurements and angles for that perfect fit, it means
nothing without taking into account your riding style and
measurements. Please don't post your measurements.

I've already given you my advice. If you can't, or won't, spend the
time to tinker with your own fit, then you have no choice but to
locate a shop that is familiar with tri fitting. It may involve
effort to get there.

If you're lucky, maybe Henry will weigh in and provide the respect as
I'm fresh out. ;)

Had the bike professionally fitted, although it is really hard to find
a bike shop that specializes in Triathlon bike fitting and this guy
was road bike fitting. But in the Aero position, obviously your hip
angle is more acute and after a few hours, the tip of the saddle isn't
exactly in the same place as you would be out of the Aero position if
you know what I mean. Seat angle is 78 degrees, but there's hardly
ever any mention of proper seat placement anywhere. Anybody have any
ideas?


By the way, is it possible to hijack your very own discussion thread?

Thanks for all the help RicodJour, I'm just trying to learn something

If you want a serious answer (and if you do you've some to the wrong place)
I personally have to tilt my saddle down about five degrees (and raise it
about 7mm) when I've got tribars on the bike vs when I haven't. Obviously
this is personal but the adjustment you have to make will be of this
general nature.

Oh, and, word to the wise - don't use your tribars when descending a hill
on a twisty road you aren't familiar with. Do not ask how I know this.

Wow, where I live almost all the bike shops do everything possible to suck in
the tri business. Y'all pay way more for bikes than most of us.

Others pointed out and I'll repeat, we won't do that to ourselves, at least not
for more than an hour at a time. The phrase most commonly associated with time
trialing is "assume the position." It's uncomfortable and unpleasant and mostly
avoidable.

Anyway, you might as well ask someone to snug your shoes correctly. This is far
too personal for anyone else to help you with.

My assumption is that you're more or less mechanically inept, otherwise you'd
just ride with a wrench and stop and tweak until you got it sorted out as good
as it is going to get.

What respect. The cycling world's got no respect. None. Kinda not good, but
kinda the way it's always been.

DUDE! Get a clue. Why are you on RBR when rec.sport.triathlon is so
much more suited to your question? This group is NOT about triathlons
in any way, shape or form. (unless her form is quite pleasing, then
we're all about that!)

As Steve so gently put it yesterday:

GO TO REC.SPORT.TRIATHLON

If your news server doesn't have that group, go to google groups.

Asking other people what your position on a bike should be, is like
asking other people if your shoes are too tight. Find a bike shop
that specializes in fitting bikes and pony up a few bucks.

OK, never have the seat where you hit your knees on the handlebars -
it hurts when you sprint, or so I've heard. I only sprinted when it
looked like the motor was about to wave me off the course.

BTW, we've never had a thread on the finely developed ability to ride
badly, yet always make the 'wave off' cut. My greatest experience was
the well of pride when I looked back and saw the CJ wave off the guys
just behind me. You do it three or four times in the same crit and you
can actually get cheers. A rider the crowd can identify with...

It would be even better if the crowd gave primes for the person who

Okay, I need a little help here. I read one and a half languages and
French ain't one of them. Can someone verify my translation of part
of that ad for me?
Here's what it says, with my guess as to what it means in parentheses:

couleurs au choix
("chocolate ass" - certainly looks sweet enough to me)
hauteur
("hot" - no shit?)
longueur
("loooong" - referring to the legs no doubt)
inclinasion a la demande
(that's either "reclines on demand" (please, God, let it be so!) or
"inclined to be demanding")
prise de cotes comprise
("willing to compromise on the price" or "everything is
included" (either one works for me))

I would suggest that someone take an old saddle, preferably stained,
