CASSIE1975 Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Hi Cassie1975 Thank you so much for your advice- I'll take your and "Theunissa" advice and head to my local bike shop for a fitting. I've gone on a few 100Km road rides and I do start getting a sore lower back- assume its from stretching for my bars. Hope the bike shop tells me I'm being a softie and that a 54" is actually the right size for me. Not really in the position to replace my road bike and buy a new MTB, Giving up cycling is not an option. Thanks again guys Not sure if you've moved your saddle forward and shorten your stem to get your "reach" more into place, but then you might get issues with your knees not being correctly over your pedals...but shortening the stem only could keep your knees in the correct place. Sometimes it can be a bit of a science, especially if you don't start off with the correct frame size. Not an expert myself, but have had to do a few tweaks here and there to sort out when I had the same issue on bike sizes that were not perfect for me. I hope you get this sorted, if not 100% then maybe firstly work on the bike that you would use the most on a weekly / monthly basis, get than one sorted and perfect for you and then sort out the other bike once you can.
Theunissa Posted October 21, 2016 Author Posted October 21, 2016 Bought a tungha bike carrier today. Good price. I also got a track going. So far 1.2 km. But only 2 obstacles. Im going to test it tomorrow Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Theunissa Posted October 25, 2016 Author Posted October 25, 2016 Got myself some cycling shoes. Non cleat. Advised by man who did setup. Trying to do posture, pedaling and cadence right from the start. I also went for my first long ride on saturday 52 min 16km. Took it slow tried to keep between 60-70 rpm constant. Al was well until i got home. When i got of the bike i noticed that i lost my legs along the way. Because they weren't there to hold me. Luckily i found them again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
