Your hand should fall naturally on the end of the bars for a natural grip. You will probably have to bring your saddle forward on its clamp and perhaps shorten your stem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAre extenders allowed in the triathlon?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eExtenders are authorised in triathlons when drafting (cycling while sheltered by another triathlete) is forbidden.\nWe advise checking the regulations for your race, which generally specify this.\nAs a general rule, extenders are forbidden for short-distance triathlons (super sprints, sprints) and authorised for middle to long-distance triathlons (from Olympic distances).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat level do you need to have to use extenders?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo particular level, quite the opposite in fact!\nWe especially recommend finding the adjustment that lets you use your extenders over prolonged periods without worrying about aches.\nConsequently, you will gain in speed or reduce fatigue so you can take on the running portion in the best possible conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eImprove your efficiency and comfort during the cycling portion of long-distance triathlons.
