Re: Hands high?? [zinny]

To throw another wrench into this, I remember reading that the high hands position does have an advantage but only at higher speeds. So while it may test great at 30mph (on top of my head) where the supposed explanation does work, at lower speeds say 20mph it may be a detriment.

It'd be great if this thread conglomerate the others and somewhat reach a conclusion on this. It does somewhat speak volumes when pros like frodo, lange, and sanders have flatter hands. But again caveat emptor, everyone's different.


Anecdotally that jives with all the British Time Trial guys doing massively high hands. Which also works for me as I am looking for speeds in the 27mph range (with plenty of time spent above 30 and some around 25). So, if this holds true I think it would still be a benefit it my case.

That being said, I am pretty confident Brian is testing at 30mph in A2 and still reporting that 85% of people test slower. Is this at 0º or 10º or something else is unknown, but wind speeds should be 30mph.

ETA: I changed the title to reflect that the design of this thread is to arrive at a conclusion on the topic
