Slow But Determined
Guest
Now I have always been a slight nose up kind of chap as I find it keeps me back in the saddle better and don't have to keep adjusting backwards.
However was watching a race on Eurosport the other day and the co-commentator, an ex pro Magnus Backstedt suggested that you would get more power through the pedals if the nose was tilted down slightly.
So I tried it, was according to Strava half a mile an hour faster over a set route (I realise there could be many reasons for that not least the placebo affect of trying a bit harder to justify moving the seat)
However it was dammed uncomfortable, kept slipping forward and having to readjust so it's gone back to how it was for comfort!
