About aero position

Hi,

Not sure, if this is correct forum for my question. My question is about my aero position, so I think it is related to cycling :-).

Last week I purchased my first triathlon bike (Felt DA4). I'm 173cm and frame size of the bike is 51cm. Bike itself feels great and looks (of course) stunning :-).

Now I'm trying to get in "correct" aero position. I have done couple of test rides and position doesn't feel bad, but I want position be better, if it could be ;-). My hobby is triathlon and I'm doing longer distances (Ironman, Half Ironman, so on...). Here you can find some pictures from my riding position:

In the last picture, I'm on the riding position (most realistic I think). Other ones are when I'm standing still. Here's also the video:

What do you think about my aero position? What could I fix (if any)?

Thanks for your advice.

First one didn't worked.

Welcome to Trifuel

Looks ok to me, however you holding an aero position for 50 meters outside of your drive is not a useful analysis.

I suggest that you do a decent ride and see how comfortable you are in the aero position and if the opportunity arises get someone to video you when you are not expecting it.

If you haven't had a proper bike fit I would suggest that this should be your no 1 priority.
