Are forward seatposts a good idea to add on road bikes during triathlons?
a forward seatpost is a must if youre putting clip on aero bars on a road bike. without them you are generally too stretched out. the seat tube angle is a big part of TT bike geometry, and the forward makes your roadie’s angle just a little more like a tt’s seat tube. i put clip ons on my roadie with a profile design fast forward seat post and it’s worked out well so far.
good luck finding what works and train hard!
I used a Profile Fast Forward seatpost for a season. I found it extremely helpful for figuring out positioning and playing around with a more forward and aggressive position. After a season with that, I had an easier time choosing a tri bike that fit me well because the tri position wasn’t as foreign to me.
