Anyone got any tips or experiences in how long it took for them to get used to the very different body position on a road bike?
I just tried out a Giant Defy - a pretty non-aggressive riding position apparently and it felt REALLY weird. Being in the drops obviously felt the strangest but steering and shifting was also pretty odd.
I want to do some roadie events and I'm sure I can get used to it but just interested in hearing what others have felt.
My mtb is a Trek Fuel EX and the body position is pretty upright so I guess this made the difference even bigger. I also commute on a flat bar roadie which is really upright too.
