I tend to listen to more modern stuff day to day, but for my turbo sessions i seem to find myself consistently returning to the early 00s rock/metal stuff. Some classic The Offspring and Blink 182 came up today which put a smile on my face!

Haha. Snap. Always go back to the early 00s on the turbo

Iām lazy and stick on the New Punk tracks playlist on Spotify. Rotating set of tracks perfect for the turbo.
Your ring looks a bit loose.

Fat knuckles. Thereās no way thatās coming off accidentally!
Cāmon, play along!
Couldnāt think of a witty retort.
So, following swiftly on from Feb 7th postā¦
This is me trundling along outside my house (and then stopping very rapidly) with the 130 mm stem on (handling is fine). Bars more or less slammed. Stem flipped down. The bars and extensions are all one fixed unit so Iāve tilted them up a bit to raise my hands because flat is tough on my shoulders even with the bars higher.
Fire away.
I guarantee there is no armpit hair in this one - just leg and face.

Love the sound your brakes make at the end. Good job they work too or youād be joining your neighbours across the road for cucumber sandwiches.
Both yours and GBs look good to me. Not the most forward/ aggressive but stable and quite low and narrow. What distance is thus for?

I was going to say the same. But Iām not an expert in this field so thought Iād leave it to the pros.

I am by no means an expert!!
Yes, can see what you mean. I had a shorter stem on before but felt really bunched up. I didnāt have much space to settle on the bars in the video and think I was quite far forward on the pads, perhaps. Might also sit a bit further forward on the saddle when properly settled.
This is from last summer with a 110 mm stem (so 20 mm shorter). Also had one spacer under the bars and might have not had stem inverted either so not a great comparison. Possibly I should try shorter stem but slammed and inverted. Iām pretty sure I was too high at the front in this photo.
Obviously another pinning blunder!
I didnāt post the video where I stopped but didnāt quite unclipā¦
Kind of 10 miles to 90 kmā¦

Only thing I can see is all your weight looks to almost be on your actual elbow joint, not the forearm at all. Does that not get sore, or is it the angle of the pic?
It might be the 2 part cup which has a hidden wedge.
Looks pretty good to me, thereās not even a patio or bin to criticise.
There may be helmets which fit your position better. Changing the extensions to straighter ones with an angled wedge may be more aero. Would need to test to improve from there. Basically nit picking.
A-
A for the position
Minus for the socks
Whatās it like having the aero bars pointing up? Does it still feel stable?
I find the position stable and I can steer with the elbows quite comfortably

Definitely - give that old stem a try and flip it down.
@leahnp youāre looking pretty dialled in there Iād say
