I love my Slice, but...![]() ...I'm really struggling to get comfortable on it. I think it's me more than the bike - a niggling rotator cuff / ACJ injury is limiting the mobility in my shoulder and in turn leading to discomfort after 30 minutes or so on the aero bars.
Not sure there's too much I can do other than grin and bear it (while obviously continuing the gym-based rehab on the injury) - I think it's the angle between my elbow and wrist that's causing the discomfort, rather than any fore or after adjustment on the bars themselves. Of course, another option is a proper bike fit, which may well be on the cards in the next couple of weeks. On the plus side, I'm averaging about 4km/h faster on the Slice than my usual road bike (on the same route), so definitely making a difference to my overall performance. Some aero wheels (the supplied Fulcrum 7s are a little low-rent) should add to the differential. Managed to hit 61km/h today on a particularly steep downhill; shame I bottled it and didn't quite have the balls to stay on the aero bars! | Previous posts Archive • February 2012 (1) • August 2011 (1) • March 2011 (1) • February 2011 (6) • January 2011 (2) • November 2010 (2) • October 2010 (2) • September 2010 (2) • August 2010 (2) • July 2010 (2) Tags 5km advice aquathlon back bad-tri base training bike bike fit bike science bristol california castle combe charity chilly coach coaching cotswold cycle dorney duathlon energy gel exertion fatigue flu gadets gear hackpen hill half marathon half-marathon harbourside hever hi-viz humour hurt ill injury ironman kim ingleby london london triathlon mark shepherd marlborough mental nerves newbury night nutrition open water pain parkrun pb physical race report rant recovery rehab retrospective retul review running slice speed sponsor stitch stretching swim swindon tewkesbury thames therapy training training; running triathlon weather wetsuit wheels wiltshire winchester winter winterswim wokingham work zelusi My Links Welcome to TriBlogs the free online training solution.Plan, record, analyse and share your triathlon experiences.
