The TT saddle shuffle, this is my opinion on the constant shuffling that you see riders make in TT's, such as Kreuziger in Tirreno Adriatico, as in my previous blog about some riders setting their saddle height based on riding on the nose of the saddle then setting the front end of the bike based on just riding on the nose making them solid and with no movement on the saddle, i think the riders that shuffle around set their saddle height based on sitting in the middle of the saddle but base the front end of the bike based on riding on the nose, but here is the problem they start sat in the middle of the saddle but the front pulls them on to the nose of the saddle, which in affect is like lowering your saddle by up to a cm while you are riding and loosing about 5-10 degrees of leg extension, in affect loosing power, so they constantly push themselves back to gain more power (measure your own saddle from centre of BB to middle of the saddle, then BB to 2-3cm back from tip of saddle and see the difference) If a rider likes sitting in the middle of the saddle he should set the front of the bike to keep him in that position.
These are just my observations, but could be wrong and they just have a nervous twitch!
