I have a Giant OCR that I have been steadily upgrading for the last couple of months. Upgrades include (but are not limited to) new wheels, cranks, fork, stem and shorty aerobars. The last piece of the puzzle was a new stem, which was put on Friday. Now I want to set up the bike on my trainer and begin tweaking the position. Everything feels pretty good, but I want to check things out and make any changes that need to be made. I have read the Slowman's section on tribike fit several times, as well as the other articles as they are published. My question is this: Are those fitting guidelines exclusive to steep angled tribikes or are they also appropriate/useful for slacker road bikes? I am not interested in putting a forward seat post on the bike or any of that. I may experiment with moving the seat around on the rails a bit, but that's it. Just curious as to how to begin this process. For the record, there are no professional fitters in my area, and traveling the required distance to one is out of the question. This must be an in-house project.
