A New Bike Setup: Aero Bars and a Fast Forward Seatpost

20100503-IMG_7566
I’ve recently procured a pair of clip on aero-bars and a fast forward seatpost for my road bike. I just want them for bling up my bike. I just want them to make my bike look so much cooler.

My bike looks so much cooler right now.

Apart from the looks department, I’ve long since wanted to put my bike into an aero setup because I believe it will be more efficient and more friendly for me when I go out and run after a long bike ride.

I would not be able to achieve the same position without the new parts I put on my bike. I’m still new to handling the new set up and I am happy that there hasn’t been any crashes so far because I’ve been riding it on my trainer. Early experiences do show that when I do go into aero position, my legs feel a little bit more relaxed and I feel more power when I pull up on the pedals. With the aero position, I feel like I’m mashing the pedals less and I feel like I am doing the complete 360 degree turn on the pedals.
