I used to get numb hands riding long distance but more recently its not so bad. But on Sunday I did 85km (the longest I've since Feb) and my hands didn't get numb but did ache towards the end. I wonder if I'm too lent over or otherwise. I'm thinking this also as I was considering exchanging my Galaxy for something lighter/larger. I rode a Dawes Audax in June and found the reach longer, but not sure this is wise condisering my wrist problems (sprained them multiple times now). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3458#post-36195 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 00:46:52 +0000 Cyclingmollie 36195@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hip 1 has his saddle set too high imo. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3458#post-36169 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 18:38:58 +0000 kaputnik 36169@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Blimey, is that #cocteautriplets at 2004? :-) </em></p> <p>yeah, pipes are soooooooooo 2004! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3458#post-36167 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 18:11:45 +0000 crowriver 36167@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Note that Monsieur Williamsburg isn't actually riding his fixie, just leaning against it for poseur value whilst drinking Sparks 'energy beer', texting/mobile web browsing/checking an app... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3458#post-36142 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 13:29:27 +0000 Arellcat 36142@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Check out the 'Williamsburg' hipster and this 'evolution' chart (ending in 2009).</em></p> <p>Blimey, is that #cocteautriplets at 2004? :-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3458#post-36137 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 12:27:04 +0000 amir 36137@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"Mind you the transfer of a semi-naked burd wrapped in union jack on the down tube is a nice 'ironic' touch."</p> <p>Made me look! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3458#post-36136 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 12:21:07 +0000 crowriver 36136@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Anyhow, fixies are <em>so</em> three years ago.
