Bike set up update, new stem and bar

Bought a compact drop bar by FSA, also a 130mm stem from Control Tech.

After long consideration, finally i've made the change from 26.8mm to Oversize 31.8. I can't feel the stiffness that most people claim. But, i've certainly felt what compact bar can do. FSA compact are well made. The compact design meaning less drop, enables me to stay in the drop more comfortably and longer. Then of course, the trade off is the lost of aerodynamic position, staying lower means more aero.

After the change, my guess is, aero vs comfort, i will go for comfort. A race will not end in 10 mins, staying in the drop for 10 more minutes is what i have been looking for.

Go for compact if your current set up makes you feel uncomfortable in the drop.
