Or one has a long torso and short legs. I am 6 feet tall and have a 83 PBH (legs from somebody who is 5'9", torso from somebody who is 6'3") and I am fat. On some bikes, even Rivendells with top tubes on the long side, sometimes I just need that little bit extra. Almost all of my saddles are

Well yes, moving the saddle back just to get more reach means either the bike doesn't fit properly and/or the bars/stem needs changing in some way. There is a "sweet spot" for every bike and every rider, and there is no set formula to find it and it's never the same for anyone else. I cannot

Pray tell, Jay, why are you hiding the beauty of that stem behind the light reflecting bag? How about photos of the stem in raw, stark raving nakedness! Cheers, Bill i nRoswell, GA On Friday, September 8, 2017 at 2:18:31 PM UTC-4, Jay Connolly wrote: > > I have a never-opened Nitto S84

I seem to have the same issue with my Cheviot. I have some Albatross bars I'd like to use but a bar end shifter is stuck is one side and nothing I've tried so far will budge it. I may trim the bars a bit and see if that helps. On Monday, September 11, 2017 at 2:26:35 PM UTC-4, Ryan Fleming

Hi Tim...you make a good point about not shoving the saddle back and my other Rivs are not in the least twitchy but this one with Chocos , to my mind, is and this is after Mark tweaked it by swapping in a longer stem (12 or 13cm) and cutting off 14mm off the choc. bars. Riv graciously gave

[RBW] Re: FS Brand New Lugged S84 Seatpost

Maybe this is a dumb suggestion, but couldn't one simulate cutting off the Choco bars by gripping them a bit further forward from the ends. I say this because I'm guessing that the "twitchiness" you both describe (a description I've never heard about any Riv) maybe is due to the increased

[RBW] Re: FS Brand New Lugged S84 Seatpost

I just did a ride with another half-inch cut off the Boscos and it was much better: more room and less twitchy. Aside from needing more reach, I think I needed to be a little more over the front end..the wheel had a disconnected 'too far in front of me' feel I didn't like. I'm not trying to

[RBW] Re: FS Brand New Lugged S84 Seatpost

and part of my problem I guess is that I am so used to moustache bars (which was my original idea) and I still ride drop bars . I was thinking of the seatpost setback as another way to angle my torso more toward what I'm accustomed to...and with more towards the 45 or so degrees I'm used to,

[RBW] Re: FS Brand New Lugged S84 Seatpost

Ryan, you may benefit from an Albatross if cutting another inch off the Choco isn't something you want to mess with. I've done major chopping on the Bosco on my Clem L and still could use a little more room, which the Alba would give me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed

[RBW] Re: FS Brand New Lugged S84 Seatpost

I wonder if these lugged seatposts have more setback than the S-83 ones do. Anybody know? Reason I ask is I wonder if my mixte position would benefit from scootching the saddle back a little . I'm using a Brooks Select on an S-83 and I'm finding that the Choco-Norms (which were chopped a bit
