I TT for fun (yeah, I know) and fitness on my road bike with drop bars. I may or may not at some point in the future get clip on bars, or a TT bike.
In the meantime I want to maximise my position on the road bike. I note a lot of pros now are slamming their saddles forward and running longer stems to compensate. I guess this gives more aeros, and also better power transfer ? What are the negatives to doing this ?
My saddle position is somewhere in the middle, and I'm already running a 130mm stem with a half scoblebrick underneath it (Cervelo mamil geo). Slam seat forward, 140mm stem and loose the spacer ?
