velomonatiCT Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 I can get into the position but it hurts like hell where the front of the seat digs into the soft bits.drop the saddle nose by 2 degrees and take a little more weight on your kneesmakes being in the drops way more comfy
Wannabe Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 IF you want to ride with a satchel on your back ....get a mountainbike the rules are everything I don't even ride with it on my back when Mtb'ing.
pista Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Should road bikes perhaps come with flat bars as an option. Canyon answered your question

hayleyearth Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 I dropped to the beige part on one ride before...I was at Suikerbosrand and my fingers couldnt grip the brakes anymore down the one hill so I moved my hands down... I am still too 'twitchy' on the dun wiel, but I think when the time is ready (maybe soon) I will move down there Edit: I woudnt like flat bars though
ewep Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Yep, ride on all the little colors. Bike setup makes a HUGE difference.

Spinnekop Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Or use a Camelback?? Silly rules are made to be broken.That is what Lance said. Clever guy that one.
Origin Cyclery Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Road bikes with flat bars...?!What next, cycling wife beaters and secret socks...?You literally just described a triathlete...

Jay_B Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 so lets up the anti a bit ...I do the invisible aero bars pursuit position when its flat and far and theres little traffic.. have nice flats on my wing bar for this anyone else ? Done it a few times while on the IDT but find my power drops off drastically and also the soft bits get bit uncomfy
HappyMartin Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 well dos it make me look stupid if Im doing a 90km ride with no place to get water, Where the on earth are you riding with no where to top up on a 90km ride?
devocean Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 In the drops for fast decents, sprinting and alternate between drops and hoods for riding into the wind

Baaisikilist Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 I only use the drops for sprinting. My knees hit my unborn child if I use them when seated...
