I can't spam to this but I have two experiences that are similar. My first non-Mountain Bike(Giant OCR2) carried me around San Francisco until I was struck by a car. I had the chain rings dig into my Achilles and was carried away by an ambance - the bike was fine. As I was recovering my family bought me a Soma Double Cross (even though the bike was fine, just to be nice). After recovery I got back on the Giant and did not ride it out of the Lower Haight ever again. I was so nervous to go near traffic. I got on the Soma and cruised through Golden Gate Park, the Mission, out to Alemany Farm in Bernal Heights, downtown to my office, etc. never had a care in the world. I held onto the Giant frame for 3 years until I moved to Philly and sold it in the moving process. My mind and body just did not want me on that bike.
-- I purchased a set of Richey Logic cranks off here for the famed low-Q benefits. Installed them and rode out (on my Bleriot). Knee and lower back pain appeared. They were 172.5. I have since figured out that my sweet spot is a mid-to-high-Q factor crank with 165-170 length due for the way my legs and hips are set up. Keep searching for the fit - and don't try to make some thing/part/theory work because of what anyone else says. Fit is the most personal part of a bike. All those little differences add up. -J -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
