Distance saddle handlebar



In this setting we have no formulas mátemeticas (Professionals use a wind tunnel for a perfect calculation), other people have to use accommodation in relation to the penetrabilidad in the air. In other words, a balance between aerodynamics and comfort.

It is a distance that is changed depending on the competition and the distance we have to go, how to pedal and the proportions between our legs and our trunk. (Not the same in all humans)

Measure the distance from the handlebar sillin
Here is the old trick of straight angle (for normal handlebars). Bajados of the bike support elbow at the tip of the handlebar, we have a straight angle between the arm and forearm and put his forearm parallel to the top tube of the bicycle. The fist does not have to touch the point of the handlebar force and the distance has to be a few centimeters.

But the correct way is to mount and test, train at different speeds and especially adapted to the conditions of the competition.

The distance is measured from the tip of the saddle and handlebar main tube. As you can see the picture on the left.
