Like fingerprints, no two bikes are the same.

I have run into the same deal. Don't think about it. Just ride it. Seriously. I gave up trying to figure this $hît out a long time ago. Frustrating, but you gotta look past this stuff.

Aren't you supposed to be riding them, not looking at them?

I'm glad that says tilts. At first I thought it said you had something else.

Are all the bikes horizontal tt bikes? If not, wouldn't varying slope of tt make the difference?

Sandy, your up pretty early! I thought I was the only nutjob up this early on a Sunday :)

I am up early every day now, dramatically unlike the past. I take a med for an energy/fatigue/deprssion problem and that may have affected my sleep habits. I often am wide awake late at night and go to sleep sometimes at 2:00 or so, but am still up at aroud 6:00AM every day, at which time I eat my breakfast. Am planning on riding the trainer this AM and go to the shelter to visit a dog that I have really bonded with- a dog that most people dislike and don't trust. Remarkable in that he and have a genuine trust and like for each other.

Have a great day!! Why are you up so early?

Sandy

PS- Planning on some strawberries and no fat cottage cheese in a few minutes (to add to the tuna, whole wheat bread and hardboiled egg I already ate)

I'll join the nutjob crowd, Darren. I'm meeting my cycling buddy at 8:30 am for our regular Sunday ride. It starts at 7:00 am in the Summer, but it's a bit too dark and cold yet this morning. At least it'll be dry.

As for FR's tilting dilema, it's like shoe sizes I guess.
