century today revealed er, flaw in riding position/setup

[roguedog]

Ok.. is it just me and my ignorance but .. isn't tilting the handlebars down the initial wrong solution anyhow?

to indy's point, if you wanted to get into a more aggro position, wouldn't it usually involve either _dropping_ the height of the steam or by changing the stem angle?

if all they did was tilt your hb,, that would make me put my hoods/brakes/shifters farther away thus, changing my reach... the only reason i can see them tilting your hb is if your bars were already more tilted toward you than "normal." take a look at the hb in this article, is this how your hb now looks, after the lbs tilted your bars down or are the hoods even ? (Sorry, I'm a visual person.)

oh, and yes, when i get onto my bike with the more drop, i need a different saddle because my pelvis is now angled differently. and i'm hoping nscrbug's saddle might help out with that

I flipped my stem and suddenly my saddle was painful. I tried several saddles, but didn't find one that worked, so I ended up just flipping my stem back over. Of course, that solved the problem.
