Bike position with new helmet

I think this thing fits me well. A number of times I could feel the tip of the tail touch my back, which I hope means that it lies pretty close most of the time. Wish I had a photo from the side for saddle height analysis (although that never stopped anyone anyway) or one in my garage for ridicule.

Straw’s just long enough for me to reach with my tongue :slight_smile:

I wonder if the constant extra drag by the long straw is more than that lost by the frequent ducking of the head to drink (> 20 times per hour?) with a shorter one.

Disk cover.

if you duck your head by shrugging it between the shoulders rather than leaning forward (and putting the helmet’s tail up) you reduce your frontal area. Therefore drinking with a shorter straw is faster :slight_smile:

Did the lady in the long cotton tee pass you? Hope not.

That’s a straw? I thought it was a brace you rested your chin upon to take pressure off your neck.

Nope. I did have to bust ass and cut her off to get a prime location for the photographer though.

Sounds familiar. Those photographers seem to always choose the most congested and idiotic places to shoot pictures.

I’ve got pictures just like you on my P3C with the same helmet in the same spots. Could this mean something? Tim

You look like you’ve been neglecting the squats.

It just looks that way. That’s what happens when you have 21" arms from the preacher curls: your legs look skinny in comparison.

yeah, like you needed the extra speed.

love the disk cover

Looks like your shoulder are too cramped together, so your back is pushed way up.
I wonder if widening your pads a tiny bit, so that you could have flatter shoulders and back, wouldn’t be more comfy and more aero. (of course, I have a tendency to do the same. I just did the same, but too early to tell if it’s good. )

I guess we’ll see what the REAL experts say. I’m probably totally wrong.

Is that a trach tube??? Sheesh Ken, get a pair of scissors and cut like 4" offa that thing.

You’ll put yer eye out like that! :wink:

So, how’d the race go? I guess I didn’t see ya cuz w/o the porn star 'stache I just didn’t know who you were anymore.

Looks pretty decent to me, but whadda I know?
