Test Ride: New Cervelo Setup
I’ve been tweaking the setup of my Cervelo, trying to get it more dialed in. The main thing I’m trying to improve is my aero position.
At the suggestion of the guys at SpeedyReedy, I swapped out my “flip up” aero pads and added back my original stationary ones. This allows me to move the pads back further/closer to my seat… which should allow me to position my arms with my elbows at a 90% angle…
For the most part, I think the arm position was pretty good… but my knees where hitting the pads when I got out of the saddle to climb. And since those pads are very sturdy metal… it’s not exactly something I want my knee caps slamming into. So I need to make some more tweaks.
I also tried out the new bottle cages on my rear mount water bottle rack… uh… yeah… those were a bust. Lost my bottles 3 times… so… I need to take those back to the store, and find a better alternative.
Also worked on adding a new non-Garmin computer to the bike as a backup, and hopefully one that won’t freak out on me everytime I hit a bump… problem is, I couldn’t get it to register the little wheel magnet thing… ARGH… more work to do there.
As for the ride… well… it wasn’t supposed to be a hard effort or anything… but I’m really feeling out of shape lately. Oh well…
