Eh?

A thread started by someone else, but I have the first post.

What are these bad vibes, apart from thread hijack?

I have real problem with pain in my hands, knees and back for judders from the road. Basically roads and cycle tracks around here are really really full of cracks and pot holes. Anyway the pain is quite severe on my road bikes but fine on my mtb's. Tried running lower tyre pressures and fatter tyres, padded gloves, extra bar tape but nothing seems to make a difference. The bikes are right size for me etc., so I don't think its that. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong

Sounds like a fit issue and that there is possibly too much weight on your hands, can you move your saddle back a bit?

Yeah...to big to small as tbh its only on my dolan. My other bikes are not so bad but the dolan being my main bike is getting just to much.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
