My reason for the swap was just to see how it felt and I thought it would 'reduce' the weight on my hands since they felt a little funny. The change blew me away. <BR/><BR/>First and foremost, I had so much more cockpit length! I could move around without fear of my knees hitting the bar. In addition, I can stretch my back out better and I did a 13 mile ride the other day with no major back issues that couldn't be solved by stretching (I've been stretching a lot as well).<BR/><BR/>Sweet!<BR/><BR/>I did have some annoyances on my left knee, and I think it's time to raise the saddle 1cm and see where that lands me since it's anterior-ish pain.<BR/><BR/><BR/>-Young RiderAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
