try to get handle bars that have backward sweep and seatpost with zero set back i guess.
btw do u have any lower back pain or pain on the palm of ur hands? if so then confirm the position not suitable. i'm also using a frame too large for my size, but seems to be doing ok. no back pain yet, but palm abit sore after the 47km i did last weekend. but that is also due do my thin gloves. haha. |

QUOTE(Thermal_Blaster @ Oct 28 2009, 01:11 PM) Thermal, what's ur height? And what is your bike size?Seems like u already changed your stem to short one and your seatpost, it is standard la. So, better measure your frame. If wrong, sell the frame, get a new one. Ride bike should be fun and not taxing to you. |

So, probably frame on the big side. I donno. If you can easily put ur butts to behind the seat, then, I guess it is of right size. If you have problem... then, may e u need to push to saddle nearer. Anyway, got a good article in Mountain Bike Action Magazine ad would like to share everyone here. So... short fork doesn't mean better climbing! |
