Bike fit / correct riding position

Who says that they need be uncomfortable! What "looks" aero is not always aero. A friend of mine developed an experimental testing bicycle where the frame angles, lengths, saddle height etc. were computer controlled and adjustible to fractions of a mm. His testing was not limited to wind tunnels. At the "top end of the field" is, however, not just hard science but also bunk science, voodoo and psychology. If riders believe that have a competitive advantage they will often deliver performance that would indicate a competitive advantage. The placebo effect is alive and well in the Peleton. Can you spell ceramic bearings--- I think my friends and I were the first to introduce them to bicycles (our tests showed a gain of about 1/4% @ norminal power output of an elite rider)? If a rider thinks they need to be low then...

Have a look at the fastest riders. Their positions didn't just happen and they are certainly not comfortable, otherwise I'd be using the same thing for longer rides. There's limits to what you can hold depending on the duration and intensity of the event.

Who said anything about the peloton? Domestic TTing scene is ripe with people who have spent time in wind tunnels. The pros are getting more and more tunnel time every year. It's not voodoo, nor psychology - drag values from a tunnel run aren't plucked from the mind of a judge.

Ceramic bearings - what point are you trying to make? You introduced them but they're a waste of money? I have no idea what you're trying to say.
