Hi Friends, I started this post on the recent thread about switching to uprights, but I thought I'd start a related new thread that focuses on neck pain. As you might recall from an old post/thread, my neck pain is formally being treated and I have some moderate deterioration in the 6-7 cervical vertebrae. Good-bye mustaches and hello Bosco's.
So specifically, I just switched to Bosco's on my little 51cm Protobleriot single from m'bars and think all my bikes are headed in that direction. I am loving them. I've had a couple of 20 mile days plus short errands. I have the 58's and the big surprise here is that they are not too wide for me at 5'2". What's even better is that they are making a difference for my neck. The combo of having a more upright position and wider bars is that they provide a healthy posture for both my neck (having the weight of the head on top of the shoulders) and shoulders (being more stretched back and out instead of rolled forward and in). Plus the Bosco's give you so many hand positions. My only complaint is brake-cable-mitten space. Haven't gotten it dialed in yet. No problem without mittens. Dialing in also includes saddle adjustment. Anyway, I can feel it making a difference in the short time I've had it set up. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
