PeterJust a quick note to say thanks sincerely to you and Giuseppe for the bike fit session and advice.
Really first rate, I learnt so much. I also know now why I have been suffering so much from hand, wrist, knee and neck problems, no wonder my training miles have been going down and not up!
It feels like a new start, although I understand I need to ease into the new position.
Did 90 minutes on the new setup this morning. The bike and ride is completely transformed. If I were to list the improvements -- I rode for over an hour on the drops, which I have never done before. No neck pain. It’s much safer as I can look over my shoulder with no problem now as well.
- I can switch between flats, hoods and drops easily and all the weight on the hands and subsequent pins and needles have gone.
- Descended at high speed on the drops, nicely controlled, easily able to change gear and brake.
- The handling is much better, I can feel the rear wheel under me now.
- Seated climbing much more efficient, I can use the full pedal stroke now.
- Riding hard on the drops on the flat is great, full pedal stroke, plus I no longer have the feeling someone is sitting on my chest. The constant sliding forward on the saddle has stopped as well.
Those are the main points ... The bike is really transformed. I could have gone on and on, but your adaption rules were clear in my mind, so I pulled over at the 90 minute mark.Pass my thanks on to Giuseppe, great job!Stephen Moon
