Sorry about the fall. Been there. Most front derailleurs are terribly under-specked. The original derailleur that came with my Sofrider and the 48/34 works beautifully with my 48/38/22. After you get your new derailleur setup, see how much room you have and consider dropping the granny gear...

I agree that you need an adjustable headrest, but that foam wedge (with accompanying pictures, of course) is awesome!

You'll find that clipless pedals make a huge difference as you'll be much more "at one" with your bike. I highly recommend not using them for first learning, but using them one you're comfortable (e.g. no longer pulling your get off of the pedals because you feel like you're losing control).

No, you don't have to dig your back into the seat. Indeed for short very steep climbs, I pull myself out of the seat, moving my weight forward to help prevent tire slippage. (I will also bridge for short periods of time for very quick power, but I find that I'm doing it less now that my core...

Charles is very happy!

I agree this works much better on mobile. Already digging this more than old forum. Chapeau! P. S. One oddity. It knows in on the East coast and shows the tight time. But it claims that the posts here are yesterday (which they are if you are in GMT).

Hey! This actually works. Pretty cool. Big picture. Video:

Sounds like you're where you Sounds like you're where you should be! :) I completely agree with you about being clipped in. You'll get better at pedaling from a stop, although I sometimes use a scoot-n-slide where I walk the bike as fast as I can while sitting on it, then slide into...
