• Getting a custom old man bike (according to Tijmen) built so went for a fit. But also I have been getting sore hands riding this past year or so. Can't get away with silly agro positions once you hit your 30s I've found

  • ah fair enough, my fit also suggested inline and somewhat forward saddle position but I think it mainly depends on femur length or something

    not had a sore hand issue and never will as I dont cross the 35 mile barrier

  • Apparently I've got longer lower legs and shorter uppers. I'm also all torso, short limbs so centre of mass may be further forward than another person of my height with the same reach. I've moved my cleats back, saddle back (and been suggested to fit a trek!? saddle), bars back and increased drop. Haven't transferred this over to the arkose yet but I'm keen to give it a go.

    Just need to find a 110mm -17 stem and a bontrager Aeolus 145mm saddle
