Yeah we're all joking, don't worry.


The whole reason I was asking about arm angle is because you want it to be bent a good deal in the drops during hard riding and not just during sprinting, since you can only sprint for a couple hundred meters max. If it's only a little bit bent during sprints when you nose up on the saddle, then you are more likely to lock out . Full-on sprints are only a short period of most races, so it's more appropriate to give a good angle for control and consistent comfortable power application. Straighter arms drive it like a bus, shorter like a sports car, that's what my coach always says.
