[RBW] Re: Dialing in stem for rough stuff

Thanks Justin and Matt. If I was early on in the adjusting process, you'd be spot on, but I'm now at the point of fine tuning, so I already know I want my current seat/stem distance just further back (except when I climb technical trails. Grin.). Interesting, Matt. I haven't experienced that

[RBW] Re: Any benefits to the longer CS's?

I think "off road" is a little broad. Yes, at some point on some terrain somewhere, any particular bike design will start to involve compromise. In lots of directions, Rivendells take a lot longer to reach those compromises. Single track with lots of rocks and roots and logs would start to

[RBW] Re: Dialing in stem for rough stuff

Try just adjusting your saddle back but keeping the stem the same. You changed two variables on the QB. It's easy to imitate one variable (saddle movement) and then determine if you'll need to change the stem after a ride or two. -Justin -- You received this message because you are
