Hey guys!
So my goal is to make my Speed Concept more comfortable and less aero. I have a messed up neck and I can usually deal with it for shorter races but doing my first Ironman distance in April and really want to focus more on comfort and less on speed. Ideally I am wanting to sit more upright so I don't have to tilt my head up at such a steep angle and also want to reduce the pressure on my lower back. Any suggestions? Videos to watch? Attachments to buy? Etc?
Really appreciate you guys, thanks!
Have you worked with a professional fitter in the past by any chance? That would be my recommendation of who to work with as they can judge your fit to give you options to tailor it to release tension away from your neck. Most likely, you would be looking at a new stem and repositioning your mono extension and/or arm pads. Raising your stem or adding mono spacers to raise the extension and pads could help, but a fitter could help gauge what is right.
