Before all else, you need to know what makes "good setup" for your body and riding style. Peter Jon White has some good thoughts on bike setup, here: http://www.peterwhitecycles.com/fitting.htm .
All elements of body type, condition, riding style, frame geometry work together, and you can't make a general rule about any one element. There have been those on this list for whom hand numbness was helped by *lowering* their bars. Others find comfort with bar high above the saddle. But look at PJW, particularly about saddle setback. Grant tipped me off to a rearward saddle position back in ~ 1994, and it solved many of my problems. There are two wonderful things about my Rivendells: first, the way they handle. But second, and more important, even, is the way they "fit". -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
