best position for descending

[mjr]

I have hit that speed in 'pantani' were at least your knackers will stop you going head first over the bars

Do you really find descending fast that, errr, "bracing"? Actually, I don't want to know!

I'm "back down" on descents I know well, back horizontal otherwise

I also have tried moving the hands from the brake levers to just either side of the stem. It's more aero as it pulls your shoulders in and quicker but...my god...scary

 

[HLaB]

Depending how confident I am on a descent my position will vary from sitting up to back down, the latter is fas enough for me

Don't forget the contribution of the Aerobelly

I've never cycled downhill

Next @nickyboy will be saying there's such a thing as a tailwind
