    A partial update. Today I rode the bike with partial adjustment done - the seat was level and the handlebars were up (a spacer was swapped from above to below handlebars). The ride was SO much better! I'm still reaching a little too far, so I can't imagine how it will feel with the shorter stem! Can't wait until this time next week, when it should be done!

    Core exercises def helps when it comes to cycling & posture.

    One thing - some shops don't offer a great fit program unless it's a store that offers high end fittings such as Retul or so..

    When they fit you, make sure that they don't change up your saddle fore/aft position (rails) to compensate reach. One of the biggest mistakes when it comes to fitting..

    Cheers !

    Thanks! They checked it but said what I had was perfect. The only thing with the saddle changed was making it level.
