Hi all,
I thought I was happy with my Flyer (apart from chainline issues - see other threads) until I took it out for my first long-ish ride this weekend.
I'm noticing that a lot of my weight is on my hands/wrists - I know this isn't good.
I have my Brooks B17 set as far back as possible, and have inverted the stock stem so that it points upwards.
The frame size is 54, and I'm 5'10"
My nads just clear the top-tube!
Have I bought the wrong size frame? Any larger then I'm sure my nads would complain at the lights, or would a longer stem help?
I new to all this stuff after a few years break so please be gentle.
I had a similar problem on a Bianchi Pista I test rode - is this a feature of track geometry?
Thanks!
John
