After completing a couple of Sprints last year, this year will be my second seson in the sport. I´m planning on competing in Sprint and Oly triathlons.
I’ve just installed, for the first time, a couple of clip-on aerobars to my road bike together with a fast forward seatpost. Once the bike shops reopen in my area, I would like to get a proper fit, but for the time being this is what I came up with. What do you guys think of my DIY bike fit? Any advice is welcome!
(I know the geometry of this bike might not be the best for a triathlon)
I don’t yet have a feel for this position, but I’m feeling like I’m sliding forward, and I have to push myself backwards pushing the aerobars. I guess this is not normal... I´ve slightly rotate the saddle to alleviate the pressure. Would you recommend rotating the aerobars, so they are slightly pointing upwards?

- The arm-pads could be moved backwards or forward.
- I could remove one more spacer to lower the handlebar.
