What kind of crap response is that?


d_monie1, I agree with others that you might want to try converting your road bike into a tt type bike without the major frame change. It can be tricky, as I'm finding out with my road frame to tri bike conversion, but there are a few things you can do.

Aerobar choice is important. If you go with full bars with the bar-end shifters, then you will very likely need to move your seat more forward than your post will allow for. You can get a zero-setback post, or also a "fast forward" post. The one from Profile I've read will move you about 5cm forward! If you go with a shorter style aerobar like the Profile Century, then the pads will be under your forearms, which is uncomfortable, but you won't have to worry about your body weight being too far over the front wheel either. It's a trade off...

You may also need to get a shorter stem. You will also want to work out how to get your bars to be lower because the aerobar pads will rise up pretty high, and you want to get lower. So you will want to look for a stem that doesn't rise up at all, and you may also want to remove any spacers you may have in your current setup. Anything to get lower. Playing around with different configs will help you figure it all out.


You might also want to spend some time reading this link. It's mostly for triathlon bike fitting, but will still have a lot of info relevant to your setup.
