A person I ride with has an iAero on his Soloist with very stiff bars, stem, fork, etc. He ended up with positive tilt. Beats me how it could have happened. I think after a few rides you will see that the reality is ever so slightly negative.

To increase the on ride power decrease the tilt # from .145 to .115 for example. Just to confirm, this adjustment takes place in the advanced screen of Edit Profile. Also before changing the tilt, check the Crr number because you will want to change the Fric number to compensate for the change in tilt. The goal will be to end up with the same Crr, assuming that it is correct now.

I think I might have found the cause of my iBike's random slope issues lately... headset was a tad loose. You might take a look at that.

Is the head tube angle the same on old and new frame?
