Riddle me this, I have issues with my shoulders when riding- I suspect from holding myself off the bars. Swapping to an SMP made this a bit better as I can lean into the saddle rather than holding myself off it, but only up to a point- the shoulder issue still stops me riding over five hours.
Riding the Klein Q-Pro I just built the shoulder problem is hugely reduced- it's also very low at the front. I seem to be supporting my torso much more with my core when the front is lower.
Now I could lower the front of the CAAD12- but I already get thigh/ribs interface on that. I don't, however, on the Klein.
What's going on, and is my WAG of "lower is better" correct?
