B67 Too Bouncy
To disable ads, please log-in.
I was told that the springs on the B67 weren't going to be bouncy... that once they break in, what I may notice is that I'm just not as played out after a ride. Great, I said! I hate too much bounce.
This week, the springs "broke in", and now I'm squeakin' and bouncin' like crazy. I can't get a nice spin on, because as soon as I start spinning rather than pushing, I start bouncing.
Can the springs be tightened? Am I spinning wrong? Should I have gotten a non-spring saddle?

It's your spinning technique.
If you can't manage to smooth it out enough to twirl fast RPMs on the B67, switch to a B68 and sell the B67 on TE. You will have it off your hands in the twinkle of an eye!

I never got the fit dialed in.
I was always sliding off. I have no prob w/ the B68 on the Jamis
