Hi all -- I recently posed this to the Speedmax SLX fit thread, but just to open myself up to a broader audience of fit help, I'm posting here. Please let me know what you think of my fit.
Some of my personal commentary/impressions:
1) Is my saddle too high? Since getting this fit, I've started having a lot of Achilles pain, and I wonder if I'm not getting enough extension through my ankle (feels like I'm biking on my tip toes). Also getting some knee pain lately. Had ZERO niggling issues prior to switching most of my riding from road bike to TT bike a month ago.
2) Is my bike too small? I hate the way this bike handles, especially when my elbows are on the pads and my hands are on the ends of the extensions. Feels like the steering axis is too far in front of the front wheel -- small steering inputs and wind gusts make the bike twitchy. I feel much better (handling wise, but worse neck/back/shoulder wise) choked back on the extensions. I've already switched my stem to the longer 85mm stem from the stock 65mm stem.
Here are 3 videos:
1) "Proper" position:
2) "Choked back" position:
3) Base bars:
Just really unhappy with where I am on the TT bike right now.....
