racing position using tri bars

[e-rider]

Hi,

I've recently bought some aero bars for my normal road bike for time trials.

However my bike is now very uncomfortable!

The main problems that I have are the saddle is now very uncomfortable (too much weight on the front) and I feel too far back in the saddle.

I've tried putting the saddle forward which did help a little and I've tilted the nose of the saddle down - which didn't really help much!

I noticed that other time trialists (the serious ones) seem to manage happily on their TT bikes with their saddles in normal positions even though they are mega low at the front end.

What's the story?

Maybe just needs some getting familiar with? It is quite a different position to be sat in compared to the normal road one. Poss also dont tilt the saddle forward. I tried a friends bike with that once and I just couldnt live with it all..

It can be hard to get it right. I would go to www.tritalk.co.uk/forums where I think you will get some useful feedback

If you really want more info on bike set up for TT's then you can't in my mind get better than checking out the Time Trial forum (http://www.timetriallingforum.co.uk/)
