What height should drop handlebars be - relative to my saddle? Higher bars are more comfortable only up to a point. Too upright a position places relatively more weight on the saddle. And while you can change hand positions to relieve stress on the hands, you cannot really change position on the saddle... This is one of the reason people who ride longer distances prefer their bars about level with the saddle; some a bit higher, some a bit lower. Also higher bars = more aero drag = less speed. |

Can anyone recommend a good maintenance-free rear shock? Thanks for the answer, and I feel bound to accept it because it's probably correct, although I ended up buying an air shock because the shocks you recommend are so much more expensive, not to mention unavailable where I live. |

Can anyone recommend a good maintenance-free rear shock? Thanks for your answer, but I cannot mark it as accepted since neither of the coil shocks you recommend is manufactured in 160-165 mm length. |
