Thanks, Gym ( :^) -- I'll try that out next time. I wonder if RBW sells their special brand of Grace? I'll be needin' a heap o' that, as well …

The stem is short. Also, the bars are level with the seat. I wonder if lowering them a bit would have helped? > On super steep climbs, you can actually stay "stuck" by pulling down on the bars. The trick is to bend your elbows so they are beneath the level of the bars, then concentrate on pulling down with your elbows towards the ground. It's kind of hard to envision, but when you're riding, it makes sense. There's also the essential skill of learning the "pounce" position - moving forward when you come off the saddle and curling your body as much as you can. You look a bit ike a cat about to pounce. You keep your butt back so the rear wheel stays stuck, but you are over the bars to keep them tacked down. Takes a little practice. - Jim -- Jim Edgar [email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
