I made an interesting observation on last nights ride regarding front end wobble. Prior to the ride I was looking at a couple photos of my Clem and thought the saddle was tilted a little high, and on my last ride at times I felt a little pressure. So I tilted it more level and no more wobble. Is this even possible?
Well, if you had the seat too high and angled up so it was poking you in the goolies, you probably be squirming around a lot when you were pedaling, and that would almost certainly be felt when you were riding down the road.
I even went as far as riding to the same descending section of bike path where I first noticed the wobble to replicate the speed and conditions and it didn't happen. Could shifting my weight ever so slightly cause the correction?
By this hypothesis, it would be /not/ shifting your weight around that would make the difference (i.e., you'd stop doing the bad thing that was causing the problem).
I made no other changes to the bike prior to this ride, not even tire pressure. Wait, not totally true, I also adjusted the angle of the left brake lever because it felt a little more outward then the right.
And that's got to be irrelevant.
Maybe it's neither of these, maybe my body is now accustomed to the new handling characteristics with the front rack on now that I've done a few rides with it. Either way I'll take it, and my butt and position on the bike felt way better and balanced with the saddle tweak.
I'm sure your butt thanks you. :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
