[quote=hiljentaa]So I’ve been doing this routine every morning for the past couple of weeks:
I’ve noticed it has helped my core strength and flexibility on the bike.
It’s all body weight, so it doesn’t require any additional (bourgeois) exercise equipment which I quite appreciate.[/quote]
Calisthenics are good stuff.
DGAF about cutting off my sternum puncher until I got my intestinal issues sorted and was ultimately happy with my position. Been seeing that even a couple minutes of high cadence in the drops puts my head a touch low for swiveling properly and is otherwise just barely missing in a number of other respects. Doubling the height of the 5mm and doing LSD for a couple weeks is likely going to be the last adjustment I bother with before cutting the steerer.
Feels like I’m focusing too much on this measurement instead of micro millimeter seat rail adjustment or some such. Anyone have some fine tuning tips before I commit too heavily?
I’m starting to get a soreness in my chest/inside arm area after about 20 to 30mi. Do I need to adjust my positioning or HTFU? I did recently switch from a 100 to a 110 stem which pretty much killed my back/neck pain. And after slamming my saddle almost all the way back my legs have never felt better.
I do no strength training or pushups or deliberate exercise of any kind actually. Just ride my bike and occasionally some bball, both 100% for fun. Maybe I should stop being lazy.
I had some 44s on it a few years ago that felt awkward, but that was probably due to them being ergos. I have been looking at switching to some 44 Rotundos or Zipps though.
Not saying it’s a fix, but it could help. Hard to really diagnose without seeing you on the bike. Too much reach can cause that problem for me, as well.
pics of your setup and you riding it from the side.
tell me exactly where the pain is on your wrists. bonus if you actually post a picture of your wrist and you pointing to or poking where it hurts. I can at least tell you what’s going on that could be causing it from an anatomical perspective. Sometimes it’s also as simple as “your wrists don’t want to bend that way”
my left wont bend back much after being broken and sprained so many times. I have to work on it daily.
when I did this, I just used my macbook webcam my cycleops trainer.
edit: here’s the vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcImiCo647E
solution to my problem was lowering the seat to 77cm, and getting the saddle angle right.
Also 110 instead of 120 stem, but drop the stem lower by about a cm and I was in the right spot.
I’m trying these… and liking them. Forealz.[/quote]
Still using these things and digging them. Done a loaded overnight tour, some steep climbs, and plenty of junk miles on my 22mi RT commute since installing them about a month ago, and am finally pain free… first time in a long time I can say that, at least for clipless. Stoked.
hej internob fit experts
so a few weeks ago i realized that the saddle was so far slammed back that the seatpost clamp had rubbed a hole through my shorts (fuck you 3t dorico TYVM), so i moved the saddle forward less than a cm and raised the saddle about 5mm. i did a 200k and i was fine but the week after, whenever i would ride with any intensity, i would get (and still get) some pretty gnarly pain in my knee (DS) under and over to the left side. i moved the post down a little bit and that did nothing. i don’t want to cause any lasting damage but does this “find a balance between pain and fast” have any truth?
