I ride a fairly average road bike (Canyon Ultimate AL) with some basic clip-on extensions. I paid for a independent fitting and was setup for tri. For the past few years everything has been good. I typically train solo and spend most of the time on the extensions (exceptions really on big uphills when I am out of the saddle anyway).
So, not realising that nothing was broken, I thought that the redshift seat post would bring additional benefit. At the road position it seems fine, but in 'aero' mode it gets me so far over the bars that the front end is way too twitchy. Its also noticeable how much additional effort it is on my arms/shoulders.
Bottom bracket to top of saddle fit numbers were:
So when I got the new seatpost I set it up in the road position at 75 and then put it into aero. I have tried a bit of adjustment - reducing height and pushing saddle back put cant seem to get it stable.
Opinions welcome - saddle too high or acclimatisation required or what else?

- aero: 74cm
