I haven't ruled out frame flex being the culprit. I feel like I've talked with a number of people of varying sizes who have had this issue on various bikes. I've had it a bit with my LHT on sustained stand-up efforts. I may try adjusting the limit screw and see if that helps. I've thought about emailing Mark at RBW to see what he thinks. Also, I've thought about emailing Jan Heine, as I'm sure he has some insights. > > Just a thought as I hate when people blame their weight and then offer up > something like 185lbs. While 185 isn't necessarily clydesdale for my height (5'11.5"), it's still heavy enough to flex the frame I think and possibly be a contributing factor. > Cheers, > Scott (now I feel horrible at my 225lbs) Henry > Dayton, OH -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
