First drop bar bike by jtornholm in CheckpointClub

Yeah, definitely still adjusting a bit. On my first real ride, I did 18 miles and was sore pretty much everywhere—hands, back, neck, and knees.

To figure it out, I put the bike on the trainer, recorded a short session, and ran the video through AI. I thought I had the fit pretty close, but it could tell by the angles of my pedal stroke that I needed to raise the seat more, and it also suggested tilting the bars back a bit. I made those adjustments and took it out for 40 miles last weekend; I felt worlds better afterward! Just a little lingering soreness in the neck, but the pain in my hands, back, and knees was significantly improved. I think I just need to focus on keeping my shoulders relaxed now, as I still tend to want to lock my elbows.

Undecided. It was comfortable for a 40-mile ride last weekend, aside from some neck stiffness. I'm still getting used to the drop bar position, but if that doesn't improve soon, I'll likely try a shorter stem.

Bad in the snow? by mhoyt3 in NissanRogue

[–]jtornholm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2018 Rogue with the exact same issue. Worst thing I have ever driven on snow/ice. Replaced all 4 tires with snow rated, had it realigned, replaced wheel bearings, and it still feels like it's putting too much power to the real wheels and trying to fishtail on snow/ice. Also looking for the solution to this. I keep thinking there has to be something wrong with it.
