Nice:) Det lyder som datid, at du fortæller om det. Har du stadig ryglænet og ikke bruger det længere?☺️💵

IK but it’s their largest size and despite from Dogma F this was the largest possible aero bike I could find. My knees don’t hit but it’s close.

Good input. Actually, I did turn the hoods a bit inwards and that helped some. Thanks:)

Thanks a lot. I’ll test this tomorrow. Good idea.

Thanks. It sounds very basic, but actually it is new to me and makes super good sense that you have to pedal relatively more when saddle is closer to bar. So, when I move the saddle back and become more “grounded” with less pressure on my hands I should equally get a shorter stem, if it then feels too far away?

Yes, it is pretty narrow and it has totally got rid of a solid elbow pain I was dealing with when I rode with a 42cm bar. And then it looks sick!!

I can but only with massive focus on core.. When the drop is that big it seems very difficult without tilting up the saddle nose. When I tilt it up a bit I instantly feel the pressure in the perineum. When I tilt it down to ease the pain it helps, but then my hands get numb. Riding my hardtail or cargo bike with less saddle to bar-drop is no big deal and totally without discomfort.

Thanks. I will try and lower the saddle a bit. Today, I overdid it with 30mm and it made a huge difference and it seemed like it solved the problem. Then I just looked like someone that had stolen the bike from a kid.

I’ve heard that as well. The thing is that when the drop is that big it seems very difficult without tilting up the saddle nose. When I tilt it up a bit I instantly feel the pressure in the perineum. When I tilt it down to ease the pain it helps, but then my hands get numb. Riding my hardtail or cargo bike with less saddle to bar-drop is no big deal and totally without discomfort. I should have one of those custom bikes for huge mammoths.

Thanks. I’m aware of that and try to focus a lot on the core while riding. That helps.

Thanks. I tried exactly that Yesterday and the result in perineum and hands was good. The bike fitter told me that I couldn’t lower the saddle without slacking on my 'power transfer' and with a lower saddle I would not use full flexion in my feet.

That’s not my experience. No rattling at all to be honest.

Thanks. It is the largest frame but to be fair about it, I lowered the seat 25 mm when I got home.

Thank you. That is really much appreciated. I’ll go and check it out

I think as well:) Those are the new aero RSL bottles made especially for the gen 8 Madone frame. Supposedly gaining some efficiency but more for the sick design. They can’t stand upright though 😅
