Triathlon Training Tips : Body Positioning for Triathlon Bicycling

[timtak1]

The expert recommends that we leave "only" about 10% of bend in our knees, and that we are not "reaching" to the pedals.

This is interesting.

I have read that Lance Armstrong's pedalling position was perculiar (at the time at least) in that he used his feet, his toes.

If you are using your feet as well as your legs to pedal then you have another few centimeters of push from your feet even after your legs are fully extended. Why stop at knees 10% bent?

@timtak1

I tend to set my saddle up high, at 0% knees bent because I use my feet too.
