Hello,
I've got a straight road bike (a Lemond Arrivee) that I used for sprint tris last year just as it was, but I'd like to know what I can do to adapt it for tri use this year. From what I've read, clip-on aero bars, sliding the seat forward, and possibly a zero-offset or fast-forward seatpost are possible adaptations. A groups.google search of this group turned up a (dead) link to rooworld.com on doing this, but I haven't seen much else. I bought a pair of Easton Aeroforce clip-ons to go on my Easton EC 90 Equipe bars.
I've been through a bike fitting for road use, so I have all my anatomical and bike measurements. Is there any way to use this data to know how far to move the seat forward? Any heuristics or rules of thumb for how far is far enough or too far?
Thanks,
Chris
