Lack of flexibility creates too much tension if trying to ride in too low a position which affects not only power production but unsafe steering.
If you want to confirm this, raise your handlebar with a riser stem and then try the TT position.
Hope this makes sense.
Makes a lot of sense.
My handle bar is low so thats an issue.
The other day I was at our gym and was on an ergonomic bike, found myself enjoying my hands on TT position so much that i ended up cycling for 2 hours till i was getting dizzy.
