I was wondering if any of you would be so kind as to critique my position. I haven’t been able to get a proper fitting and I’m doing the best I can reading and applying tips. I feel as if it might be too aggressive, as my back is completely flat. I use all but one spacer. I’m trying to get more of a “slam” postioning recommended by JC. Any thoughts?
i think you need to sit on the bike with more pelvic tilt, for a start. tip your pelvis forward like it is bowl, and you wish to empty it.
Please retake the photo. I’m under the impression that the camera is not totally centered to your bike and your feet should be at exactly 12 and 6 o’clock.
Just curious why you want to ride in a slack position rather than steep? This is a Dual, not a Soloist that you’re on?
You should not wear sunglasses indoors. That bike looks really fast. You look comfy.
i think the position of your hands on the aerobars/shifters is perfect. most people don’t put the shifter lever in their hand. why do the lance thing and move your hand to shift if you don’t have to.
Thanks, T. Could you please elaborate on the pelvic bit?
Thanks, Ceverloguy. I’ll try and post another picture.
Thanks, Mdtrihard. Those are actually my prescription glasses. I recently switched that position and find my triceps a bit fatigued after a bit-I used to be more stretched out but felt that the armpads directly under my elbows was a no-no.
Thanks, Ceitstab.
Thanks, Francois. Money is a bit tight, so the sale items will have to do!
ummmmm. like this:
sit at your computer typing. now, reach WAY under the chair for a pencil or something ( notice how you tipped your pelvic girdle forward and scooched your butt back ). now, without moving your pelvis, reach back up to the keyboard. note again how your hands are in the same place - you are looking the same lace, but your entire attiude position-wise is different.
THAT, is how you are supposed to sit on a bike. pelvis tipped forward. it is the basis of the slam position also.
Not a mechanic or bike fitter but position looks pretty good to me.
Are you comfortable ? How do legs feel on the run afterwards compared to previous position(s).
Do you have anything to measure your wattage compared to previously ?
Hi Canuck, my position used to resemble Cam Brown’s. If you look at Cam, he’s completely stretched out and his armpads are directly under his elbows. I’m not Cam Brown, and after reading Gordo’s tips about his wattage increasing 50 with the arm pads adjusted closer twds. his wrists, I felt that perhaps I needed to change. I don’t have access to wattage information. I have a long torso so I’m not sure how that plays into things. I really appreciate everyone’s help.
Thanks, T. I will try that. I’m also wondering if I need to move my saddle back.
Get your back flatter, arms in tighter into a tuck, go buy a goniometer and look at your leg/pelvis relationship and last, but not least, go buy a P3SL 
Tony.
ok mate ! Am not qualified to make any judgements sorry. If you know anybody who has a Computrainer you could easily hhok it up and check your spinscan and wattage numbers in various positions and test it out with some brick-runs later. Thats generally what I do in conjunction with my mechanic .
I note you are riding a P2 so you various options open to you. I believe comfort should come first and looks second ! Flexibility, obviously plays a big part , so if you can get a comfortable position where you can generate the same (or preferably more) power than previously and run the same (or better), great.
Best of luck and compliments of the season

We want it 180 degree turned with your 6 o’clock side facing the camera. That way we can measure your knee angle from tranchanter-mid knee-lateral malleoulus and see if your seat height is approx. correct.
Post another pic with proper light and why are you riding with a gel flask on your trainer???
The correct pelvis tilt is important. Think of it as rolling forward off of your sit-bones and on to your “taint”. It’s not hard to do, it is hard to keep doing it, though, because it can really hurt. I can do it the entire ride while on my Titan Flex, but, I don’t do it on a standard double-diamond framed bike. This forward pelvic tilt allows you to use your gluteal muscles more effectively. If you look at your heel in the first picture, you can see it has dropped. Dropping your heel is a way to try and engage your gluteal muscles more…I don’t know if this is how you usually ride, or, if it is just a static picture that isn’t how you really ride. Like Cerveloguy said, we need a better picture…then he can measure it for you, but, it’s only a measurement. Static fittings typically don’t mean as much as dynamic ones.
Other than *possibly *moving your seat back just a tad (since Cervelos use that very forward seat thingy), I think you look pretty good. Of course, you need to be able to generate the most power you can and then run comfortably off the bike. THAT is the optimum position.
I scanned most of the responses. Perhaps it was mentioned, and I missed it, but is the bike level? It looks like the rear wheel is up, because of the trainer, but you don’t have anything under the front wheel?? If you post another pick showing the 6:00 O’Clock position with your left foot down, as someone else requested, I would suggest that you also level the bike. You can put a level on the top tube to check it. When you are done, you might want to check and record somewhere, the level of your seat also, not that it should be level, but just so you have a bench mark in relation to your top tube should you remove your seat, etc. I read bike position critiques, but am not one who can critique, just offering thoughts on a picture change that might help others do so, assuming it is possible to critique a bike position over the internet.
Sorry but the only thing I can critique are your photographer’s skills
.
Your upper legs (quads) look like they are not very well developed for cycling. I would suggest that you concentrate on riding more. What would probably make you faster is to get a road bike and ride with some fast group rides a few times a week.
Thanks, Big Kahuna. I’d love to get a P3
Hey Heavy, will try and get another picture up; riding long on the weekends and after washing, attach it back on the bike.
Thanks, Titan. I appreciate the response.
Thanks, rroof. I actually have the seat post reversed fwd., will move back to standard and move saddle backwards.
Monk, you’re right. I didn’t place the front wheel holder. Had to rush and take the pic as the gf was in a hurry.
No worries, smartasscoach
Hi Gram. I actually come from a swimming background and ultra-running background. Cycling is my main limiter. My quads are actually developed from running and weights. In the photo, I’m not pedaling, simply posing in different poses for the picture.
