I recently bought a tri bike that I now think is too large for me. When I get into aero position, I feel too stretched out and way uncomfortable - haven’t been able to ride for more than 10-15 minutes in aero position without a break.
In my uneducated, unprofessional opinion, I think the bars need to be both higher up and closer to my seat.
Anyone know of somewhere I can do some research on how aero position is supposed to feel/look? I will probably cave to a professional fit, but would like to tinker a bit on my own so I can get to a more comfortable spot.
Could be a number of things besides being the wrong size frame. Perhaps the stem and/or aero bar are too long.
Can you post some photos of bike and rider on a trainer and we can critique for you. Make sure the camera is centered properly. Do one photo with your foot at 6 o’clock and the others at 12 and 3.
I agree with cerveloguy. Post some pics and you are sure to get a few pointers from fellow slowtwitchers. However, I also believe that a professional positioning can be very useful. Find someone you can trust. Ask around and see who “the guy” is in your area. Good luck!
