So I converted the Bleriot to upright so I could ride wifespeeds without hand discomfort that comes with riding that slow for an entire ride on drops. What I have found, in riding upright, is that the discomfort of the hands is reduced 75% and the butt discomfort 100% increase ( which was nonexistent when I rode with drops) makes me want to just go back to drops. I am more comfortable riding at wifespeed (and all other speeds) with drops, turns out. No matter the bar heights or saddles. Also, headwinds are noticably more noticeable and wintry blasts harder to endure while upright. I don't think I have never heard of someone on this list, or from Walnut Creek finding uprighting to be less comfortable than dropsing. So I thought I'd include it as a datapoint here.
Here's another datapoint to add to yours. "Upright" == painful hands, sometimes in as short a distance as 5 miles, but under the best of circumstances never any longer than 40. Drops are comfortable >= 100 miles.
Has anyone here also found upriding to not be their cup of tea?
You bet. Not my cup of tea at all. -- Steve Palincsar Alexandria, Virginia USA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
