Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Yep. Looks very close to flat... If it's not enough, then translocate one of the spacers to the top.
Mr X Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 More weight on the front is good for climbing and taking corners, more grip. Give the low handlebar setup a chance, you might even have back-ache for a few rides. Try it and give it a chance, strengthen your core.
Guest notmyname Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Spacers on top leave some pretty lekker bruises should you OTB. I learned this lesson leaving most of my inner thigh a delightful mish mash of Maroon and purple with almost yellow highlights. Dead sexy stuff. My maiden at the time grew to love it and actually said that a smooth clean shave thigh would have been showing off.
NotSoBigBen Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 Now this bike is seriously schweet, after riding my SSR so much lately this feels like cheating [emoji41]
NotSoBigBen Posted April 10, 2015 Author Posted April 10, 2015 Been riding this bike a few days and I would have to say that those okes with the thick glasses and pink socks that decide on angles and tube lengths and materials do know what they are doing after all these years
CAAD4 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Once you've tried a Dale, all the others just seem Spaz NSBB..
Li Mu Bai Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Do yourself a favour and get a proper bike fit - Cyclefit 0725662925with your body correctly positioned from top to toe, you will have accurate measurements and real advice as to saddle height over bars, and how to set your stem appropriately.Then take it out and feel the difference...
GreatGusto Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 I also flipped my stem and removed spacers on my Superfly and it transformed the bike. All of a sardine I could climb hills on the thing!

If he had to do it with each bike he owns, new stems and all the other stuff they recommend, he could buy a few new bikes...

Keeping in mind that all my bikes are bought merely on frame size (L) and an 'opportunity' that came along.
