First Indoor Ride

I just finished up my first indoor ride on the P2Sl, which is the first time I've sat on the bike fully built. It is a bit more aggressive (intentionally) than the Scott Plasma I have had the priviledge to use for the last few months. However, with the slightly different geometry, a preliminary fit from Scott and Tom at the Lounge, and the shorter 170mm cranks they recommended, it felt great and I'm not worried about producing power in the position.


The Standard



I rode on the computrainer at the training facility to check out the position in the mirror and to use the spin-scan feedback on the computer (see photo) to check for any obvious dead spots or general issues with my pedal stroke. All seemed in order, and I actually felt a little more comfortable from the waist-down than I am on the Plasma. It will take some time for my shoulders to get used to the lower position, but I'm confident it will be fine.

Stoked!
