Subject: RE: HIM on my Cervelo s2 I went to the local bike shop and got fit for the aerobar position. The result on my first road bike was a new stem and the Profile Design T1 aerobar setup. On my second road bike I got a Retul fit (which will really dial you in for the TT position ) and I ended up with a FF seatpost and PD T2+ aerobars. Getting fit was key for me in both cases but it wasn't simply a matter of bolting on aerobars. It was having a professional fitter work with me, ask a lot of questions, then making recommendations. I saw the biggest gains going from road position to aerobars, 21 mph sprint average speed to nearly 23 mph OLY average speed with approx. 1,000 miles in the saddle between the sprint and oly races.
Also, some frame geometries may not lend themselves to optimal TT positions.
If you get fit, make sure you tell them (they SHOULD ask you ) what distance you're going for. |
