Get the saddle to where it's not in a position where there is a chance of the rails snapping.
Just ordered a setback seatpost today, although its right at the "max" mark right now, I dont feel comfortable with it that far back either |

http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3cd7382b.jpg I don't even think that bike is made in a women's frame design so your friend is probably just jealous. Like me!! :thumb: Josh |

Sry 'bout the catalog shot. Will post a full report when the box gets here and I unpack the goodness. Just placed my order this afternoon with Yeti. Man oh man, don't know how I'm going to live with an honest-to-god trailbike after my string of mongrels. So stoked.

So I finally got my first hardtail MTB. Thanks to all from BikeForums who helped me out. Guess the new Post your Rigs is the ideal place to showcase. Brick wall on a overcast day makes a surprisingly good background. I'll do a proper photo shoot sometime. Felt Q720:
http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/e...3/DSC_0376.jpg The shifting was set up so well by my store it's a dream, at times so quiet and quick that I don't realise its happened: http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/e...3/DSC_0385.jpg Two small changes to the stock version: grips changed to Bontrager foam ones (I REALLY didn't like the stock grips). I thought foam grips would be way too soft and spongy, but they're actually very nice, firm and grippy. Also went clipless with the basic Shimano SPD pedals: http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/e...3/DSC_0381.jpg http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/e...3/DSC_0384.jpg http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/e...3/DSC_0388.jpg I could go on about how the fork isn't up to the rest of the bike, but I'm a cyclist, not a component weenie and to be honest, I can't even tell the difference between that and higher-end forks. The thing rides like a dream, and I'm happy as a pig in mud. And that's mah first hardtail. |

Mostly lurk around here but just picked up a new project. New, old stock 2011 Fisher Sawyer.
http://i47.tinypic.com/a5hr8k.jpg Pretty much stock expect for some things I've had laying around (Thomson post/clamp, ODI Rogue, Spank Spike pedals). In the process of switching it over to 1x9. In the end it'll likely be a SS. Much like every other bike I've ever owned... |
