Are you pushing or I suppose outputting to your abilities in mantis? Honest question as my power output in that position was severely limited by the “chicken shit” factor.... Maurice
That's sounds plausible. However, I'm pretty sure my indoor power has been lower too (have to double-check that). I'm speculating that we all unconsciously shift around fore/aft in real life to maximize power output and the mantis position limits that somehow.

Dude what's with all the frames in the background??? I'm jealous.Used P3 framesets (pre-BBright) cost less than a wheel these days. So I keep a few around to try different experiments.

Well done! How are you liking yours? I love mine. I have a minor power loss in my mantis position as well though I have never figured out why. How do you like the brake levers? Even though they were my idea, I don't use them. My hands are too big to use them comfortably :( Which arm pads are those?Brakes are fine for my purposes. The armpads are Ergo Mantis. My elbows kept sliding off the stock arm-rests.
I'm still having problems getting my Garmin 1000 in the right place. It's still too low and when I switch to basebar position, it overlaps my handhold.
