Ok, so after a couple of months on the freewheel of my Charge, I did my first fixed commute today..and it hurt!
the fact that i was fixed wasnt an issue (apart from a few moments where I forgot to keep peddling and did a death wobble)
My whole riding position seemed to have changed, my saddle was extrememly uncomfortable and my shoulders, back and arms hurt, is this something that I will get used to or should I think about adjusting the saddle a bit. I have been riding miles on freewheel on the same setup and have had no issues.
I hated it so much this morning that I swapped back to the freewheel before locking it up today!
Any advice would be gratefully received...
