Veteran  101  De Queen, Arkansas |  Subject: P2C fit help!!I bought a P2C at the end of 07 and got fit by a knowledgable LBS. The only problem I have experienced is that I have to keep scooting back during my rides. I seem to be sliding forward on the seat and aerobars and eventually have to scoot back.....probably every 5-8 minutes. Any suggestions on what I need to tweak. Thanks for any advice. |

Master 2202 St. Louis | Subject: RE: P2C fit help!! My initial thoughts are these two things: #1 - Your saddle may be tilted down in the front, try to level it out. his shoulf prevent forward slippage. #2 - You are spinning a gear that isnt putting enough pressure on your legs. Triathlon bikes/TT cikes are designed with the thought you will be putting out more continuous power at a higher level and are typically more comfortble when you are puttng out more power. When you do this , your legs are providing some of the support to your body, and holding you up. |

Master 3019 West Jordan, UT | Subject: RE: P2C fit help!! You bought an expensive bike and bike fit from a local shop. That should entitle you to some post sale support. Talk to the shop about your issue and tell them what is going on. They should be able to help you fix it. |

My initial reaction to this as well. Do you have a photo of even just the bike? Your saddle should never be below level and ideally tilted slightly above level. Just my experience. |
