(Supporting your weight with your hands requires that the entire upper torso maintain tension, whereas with the elbows you can relax.)
Yep. TicTac’s bike is not even close to that TT setup. The fact that he thinks it is speaks volumes to how little he understands it.
TT bikes have steep STAs. TicTac has done exactly the opposite and shoved his saddle all the way back on a setback seat post.
And why would one even post a TT race pic in a thread on non-competitive riding? Does he think those guys ride bikes like that when they are not racing or training?
