Several 100 miles into the new Sam Hillborne and I’ve noticed something odd.
It seems that I now ride a lower cadence than on the old bike. Indeed, I took the retired Triathlon bike with flat bars out and rode it on my commute to test the hypothesis. I tend to push a bigger (In a relative sense because I ride low gears) on the Sam at a cadence of about 85 to 90 rather than a cadence of 95 to 105 on the other bike. A cadence of higher than about 95 on the Sam feels like I am spinning out of the gear and I have a definite sense of bouncing on the saddle. I checked the saddle height. I tilted the nose of the saddle up a little more and played with the fore and aft adjustment. I still spin slower on the Sam and ride a gear higher. However, the slower spin feels right on the Sam though I know that is a very subjective statement. Am I a freak of nature? Or is this something to do with going from a 78 degree seat tube to 71.5 degree seat tube? Or, is it possibly a function of the longer chain? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
