@stephec has disappeared. Possibly never to return!

He will be back soon

Why get over Halifax?

Sounds most exotic

When you see it all stopped, you begin to realise.

Yes indeed

I can make it look like it is though.

I was all done for midday when somebody came mithering, then spent the next three hours pulling apart and rebuilding a conveyor system.

Was it working when you left?[/QUOTE]
Better than before I weaved my magic over it.

Report on my blog for now...will try and get a copy posted here too but I'm knackered!

When you mention trying to raise your handlebars, looking at the photos they look quite high already.

I don't think a tourer would go any higher, and a hybrid is usually a similar set up to what you've got now.

If it's a question of being too stretched have you thought of a shorter, or more upright stem?

It's the position on a MTB i think. It's all I've ever ridden but for the rides I'm doing now of 30 miles, I am hurting (arthritis in spine)
LBS mentioned they could raise or do something, to the bars...not sure what they said now.

Are you sitting quite upright at the moment?

 

[classic33]

Are you sitting quite upright at the moment?

Why?

Hmmm, not really

I hope you're not trying to get saucy with me you cheeky minx, I was talking about your bike position.

I'm too tired to get saucy with anyone
The position is comfortable but I'm finding I'm not upright enough for the 30 miles I'm now doing and it hurts my spine.
Not sure, I had the wrong undershorts on today and they killed me, so it's possible I was wriggling about or taking my weight off the seat and leaning more forward than usual...

Sounds like you need a good rubdown.

Will your LBS let you fit a few different stems to your bike in the shop so you can compare them?

Back from an evening out with Sis-in-law. We went off to Yo! Sushi. I was late as I was at guitar lesson first. I had visions of her arriving and carting me out but think that Hubster dissuaded her from doing such a thing. Lesson was awesome, food was fab, Sis-in-law going tomorrow.

Oh a massage would be heavenly right now...
As for the stems, yeah, they are good so probably would sort me ok.
