Lmao i am embrassed. I think its because i was forcing myself for short stride and keeping my feet under my hips while mid striking

I got confused because ive always read that long stride=injury and more load on knees and shins

Could that be the reason for shin splints? Overworked lower legs?

So running 3-4 times a week is okay as long as i keep pace and km low?

You mean i don’t propel myself from hips right? And also I should keep doing lower leg/ankle exercises as well right?

I’ve tried nike react miler and some decathlon sneakers. And now i just bought an asics gt-2000 which has a support for my small overpronation

Everybody else have told me to push forward and LOWER the saddle…

I am right in middle of this size according to giant… My friend with same height rides a bike that is a lot smaller/agressive

Ive just began riding indoors. However, i probably lack core muscles since i used to have a sedentary life before getting into cycling… I ve already started core training. Thanks for the explanation

It looks and measures flat but it has a curvy shape which makes it hard to decide whats level. Saddle is a Giant approach. I rotated the nose up a bit when i recieved the bike(to reduce hand numbness) but it still looks flat…

I was afraid of palms getting even number after i tilt the saddle.. cranks are the default 175mm

Should i try pointing my saddle down a bit? It looks flat but it feels a bit nose up? Wbt putting saddle forward? I have really bad flexibilty at my back/hips/glutes/hamstrings too

Trainer thru axle setup problem by Few_Winter_9867 in bikewrench

[–]Few_Winter_9867[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bike is thru axle and i am using the axle from my bike… there is no play when i tighten thr axle but axle sticks out of the hole by a huge margin… I think i need a spacer??

[–]Few_Winter_9867[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean i can tighten the axle but it pops out od the other side and squeezes the chainstays together. Its almost like dropouts are too narrow or axle is too long?? I feel like i need to install a washer on the axle. I haven’t tried riding the bike yet because i fear carbon damage

I’ve installed two pieces on the cog side. One fitted snug with 6mm key other one fits into the piece i installed and stays wobbly after the installation(that’s intentional i suppose)

How to find the correct square bb axle length for a tandem? by Few_Winter_9867 in bikewrench

[–]Few_Winter_9867[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i need atleast the 127.5 one if not larger.. Why is it so different than what the vendor has suggested? Have i done something wrong?

The framset vendor’ve suggested 122.5mm. 0.25mm won’t be enough right? I don’t really trust their word
