Improving bike fit for triathlon

Kurt Godel · 2012-07-28 20:13:28

I attached aero bars on my road bike, and notice an immediate improvement- but from what I gather I need to raise the saddle, and perhaps move it forward- is there a general guideline for how best to do this?

Carefully.
And only after the consumption of a good quality ham and Dijon mustard sammich.

Just don't over-do it on the mustard just before you head out.

Don't throw away your empty tins of Colman's Mustard Powder when you're done with them Kurt.

They make ideal containers as puncture repair kits for your bike !
