If you get a chance to post a pic or two of your new stem arrangement, I'd be interested to see it. Mike

Trev, 30 kph? Wow, now my 14 mph (22 kph) pace on my last ride feels so much less aggressive (it didn't at the time). :roll: I clearly need to work on my conditioning. I adjusted the pedals a little closer to me early on and found myself just occasionally brushing the handlebar with my knees...

Trev, There's a bunch of discussion about about knee pain and shorter crank length (<170mm). Not sure what crank length you're using, but if it's more than 165mm, you might get some benefit out of 155mm (or even less), particularly if you've already adjusted your pedals to be closer. This...

Thanks for the great suggestion, Doug. I was not looking forward to drilling holes in the bike. Wow, that IS a freakish coincidence!, haven't seen too many 'bents on the trail (only crossed path with one other one that Sunday). Perhaps we'll run into each other someday (figuratively, of course!).

"I got home with just under 16 mph average and 74 miles in my legs. My recovery drink concoction did the trick and my legs settled down right away. I did not have any cramping issues." Just curious, what is your "recovery drink concoction"?

Congrats on what sounds like a rapid transition to the moving bottom bracket. I too am just getting my first rides in on my Sofrider, but haven't quite gotten past the occasional weaving that's keeping away from high traffic areas just yet. Judging by the black color on your bike, I suspect...

Gents, Sorry for dredging up an old topic, but as I was searching for the secret decoder ring on how to subscribe to a topic, I came across this one. If someone would be so kind as to inform this newbie how to do this, I would be grateful. Cheers!
