New Track Bike
Thu, 04/27/2006 - 10:28am
I'm looking for advice on how to set up a track bike. I just got a bike and plan to head out to Hellyer. I'm assuming that the riding position will be different than my regular bike. I plan to set the saddle hight the same, but what about position over the BB and to the bars? I'd at least like to start in an neutral position (for track riding anyway).
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Keeping the seat height the same is a good start. The seat and head angles are typically steeper, which puts you further forward. Go a little bit lower on the stem than your road bike at the beginning. But you have to be able to breathe and see over your shoulder too. Make sure your pedal tension is tight--you're not in a hurry to clip in. And ride straight.
