If you go to slowtwitch.com they've got some excellent articles on how to set up your bike for a good tri position. To help you with setup, either put your camera on a tripod and take pictures of yourself on your bike or set up a webcam with your computer in front of you so you can see your position.
The bouncing may also not be due to a bad bike setup but rather a pedaling stroke that isn't smooth. Work on a nice smooth pedal stroke and that will help with eliminating bounce.

2 Things:
1 don't change too many things on your bike position at once. And make sure that you marked where you started so that you have a benchmark to work from.
And second - it does sound like a pedal stroke issue.

I agree. It sounds like the problem is with your pedal stroke.

Thanks for the advice... I have done a few sessions of isolated leg exercises on my trainer at the end of workouts. I'll keep doing them. :eek:

If you really want to work on getting a smooth pedel stroke, get or borrow a set of rollers. They will kick your ass until your pedal stroke is smooth. Start out practicing with the rollers setup in a doorway to so have something grab onto when you ride off the side.
I have never crashed into my TV, but I have come close ;-)

I'm looking for some help in seting up (tweeking) my bike. I just added an airstryke aero bar to my cannondale cad 7 frame. My problem is when I am spinning at a high cadence(100+), I bounce on the seat. I have raised and lowered the seat,moved it forward and played with the bars. nothing seems to help. any ideas? Thanks
