So i was riding with a Cat 2 racer recently who said that I needed to "get in front of my gears". Meaning that I was behind my pedals and pushing instead of really riding on top of the gears and staying in front of the bike. Today I took off my 3T carbon seatpost and installed a relatively inexpensive zero setback seatpost I bought just to test this theory. It actually felt great!! Felt like I really was on top of the bike instead of riding it behind, if you know what I mean.

so, has anyone else done this, or experienced this? just wondering.......
