| quad work ....so in an earlier post i was looking for suggestions as to why i wasn't getting enough workout in the quads region. FYI- think i've found the answer. was focusing on the seat position but nothing made any difference but then changed the stem to a bigger angle (more drop) stretching torso out forward just a little more = big difference and when there is more of a balance between the leg muscle groups there is much more power! i think my average speed just increased about 2mph just like that! -alan |

It's not because you're in a more aero position, of course :-) -- bpo gallery at [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] |
