I've been waiting for the notification that these are back in stock. I want a new bike baaaaaaad.apnk wrote:Those Surly's look awesome guys! Here's my Canyon Grail on the beginning of a night ride. Since I got it I've added a new Raceface XC carbon seatpost, WTB Volt Ti seat, and Spank Vibrocore bars. Weighs in at 20.75 lbs which is crazy since most carbon gravel bikes start at that weight.
Wow that is incredible? An all carbon bike? 20lb?? Damnapnk wrote:Those Surly's look awesome guys! Here's my Canyon Grail on the beginning of a night ride.

Yes- but did the instructional video include a solid Ohio 7 with big tatties??hobbit712 wrote:I picked up a very similar bike rack from Sam's on clearance a few years ago. Same brand....but rubber style straps instead. It suits my need just fine. It can get a little crowded if you try to put a few bike on there though.
I'm looking to get back on the bike this week after my crash. Ribs are feeling a lot better. My bike has been lonely after a tune up and new chain installed.
please don't use the extensions on those bars. they will put even more pressure on ur balls when fully stretched out.
Not an extension- just a little rise is what I was thinking
I think I said it wrong. What I meant to say is the extension on these handle bars circled in yellow you do not want to use. they will extend you farther and put more pressure on ur little ding-ding
Those are extensions? I thought they were passenger seats.toxicavenger wrote: ↑Wed Sep 02, 2020 12:40 pmI think I said it wrong.

I think give yourself time to adjust to it, and give yourself longer breaks in-between rides in the beginning (i.e. let your ass recover fully before sitting on it again).BBK357 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 08, 2020 10:51 amUpdate:
Ok so I finally got a new saddle as I have been riding on the Serfas RX thick gel padding.
I did a lot of research and I decided on the Fizik Argo Tempo R3 in 160mm.
I’ve been on 3 short rides in padded shorts from 5-10mi each as I can’t go much longer....
I’m super disappointed as I don’t think it’s working out for me. As soon as I sat on it I felt discomfort- no big deal. But today for my third ride with it, I feel like my left side sit bone is bruised (not balls or prostate, not my ding ding, it’s totally the ass bones). I can barely put pressure on it.
I’m going to try one more ride tomorrow.
If this doesn’t work out I’m not sure what to do besides try a Brooks leather saddle.
I guess I can always go back to the super padded Serfas seat I was using.

I just lost the very long well thought out reply I spent the last hour typing, so now you you'll get the short angry version
Glad to see another on of us on a bike, riding's awesome and the only thing that's helped me keep my shit togeather for the last two years. Also lost 40lbs (but gained back a covid 10!).
Saddles are very individual and you need to know the size and shape of you sit bones, take a look at the links below to know more about your sit bones than you ever wanted to know
https://www.sq-lab.com/en/ergonomics/sq ... bone-pain/
https://sqlab-usa.com/pages/free-sqlab-ft-kit
Avoid padded seats but do get padded shorts, expect some pain as your causif ('cause if it wasn't there I'd have a vag) gets used to the abuse. I ride 70-80 miles a week (heading for 2500 this year), mostly 20 mile plus mixed road and trail rides on an MTB, on road rides I get discomfort around mile 20 but I think this is unavoidable. For the type of riding you're doing I'd leave the sadddle flat, the angle changes the pressure points and would normally be adjusted to suit riding style (nose slight up for climbing, slightly down for downhill) and not fit, get comforatable on the bike then angle it to suit what your doing. My bike is set up quite aggressivly with the bars 2.5" lower than the saddle and I keep mine completly flat.
Have someone ride behind you and check if your hips are rocking, if they are then your saddle is probably too high and will be causing more chaffing and bruising.
What's your name on Strava? this is me: https://www.strava.com/athletes/6141395
@apnk love the Canyon, I'd like one for road rides and hill training but won't do lycra!
@Joeprez you're strava's private bro and you won't accept me
And just becuase we're talking bike's here's where most of my watch collection went, 24lb with pedals:
Hate when this happens. Even worse when it’s a job application and the thing locks up or won’t submit and then you have to type/fix the whole thing, on the iPad screen keyboard. iPad keyboard is on my “when employed” purchase list.
Yes I did. But I left my little blue sparkly plug in. Maybe that’s why??CGSshorty wrote:Ben, did you untuck before you went for your ride?

Big clunky seats on bikes will force you to ride one way, which your body adapted to over the last couple months. You gotta unlearn some sub-optimal mechanics and build up better ones.
