My Cervelo p3 (as in p3 aluminum) came (used) with a cut fork that doesn’t allow me to use spacers at all. I’ve got long legs/short torso, so the drop hurts more than I want it to.
I see my possible remedies like this:
I could pick up an adjustable stem (or a fixed incline stem) and bring my front end up. The only problem with that is I’m currently running a carbon x, so I’d have to swap that out with something I could put a stem on.
I could get a new fork, and space the front end up.
Are there other options that don’t cost huge amounts of money or cause intense pain?
Aerobar with a higher stack height, like a Syntace?
Good answer! I just switched up aerobars and went from a high stacking setup of a specialized basebar with Profile clip-ons to the integrated Easton Attack TT bars.
With my original setup I was comfortable & fairly aggressive without any spacers. To get the same position with the Easton’s I had to use two spacers.
Depending on your current aerobar set up you may be able to gain some cm’s in that department.
