Hello All. So I bought a Tri-bike a few weeks back, first ever as I have always been a roady. So on Friday I took the bike in for a professional setup and everything was set up. The whole setup was done with me leaning forward into the tribars, with me sitting on the nose of the saddle. During the setup I asked the fitter that I think the saddle is tilting quite a bit forward, and he noted that it is fine. So I get home and the next day I put the bike on the IDT just to get the hang of the Tribike,having never ridden one. When I sat up the saddle feels WAY to high compared to that of my road bike, but when I am in the tribars it seems fine. I can feel that my shoulders are taking quite a bit of strain by keeping me on the saddle as I keep on sliding forward. So now my question is: Because in the tri position you sit far forward on the nose of the saddle, if this needs to be raised by say 3mm, it would mean that the saddle needs to be lowered by 3mm? This might also be why the saddle feels to high when I am sitting up as I am sitting further back, with a higher saddle (it being tilted forward) But when I now drop the saddle by 3mm it also means that the saddle will come slightly forward due to the angle of the seat tube? I contacted the fitter and he noted that I should just adjust the tilt as the saddle height would not change overall, which for a roadbike I might agree with because you sit in the middle, but with the tri setup, tilting the nose would have an effect? Please could you legends of tri help me out here Thanks
