Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I lower my seat....................and my hands get numb?

So I finally find a web site that lets me punch in my measurements and it give me a basic fit that I can work with. I find out I have had my seat to high so I lower it and it did make a BIG difference, but now, my hands get numb alot quicker that they did before. Should I lower my stem

Sites with 'punch-in-measurements' are not always correct...

Are you sure that your saddle tilt has not changed? The fore-aft position of the saddle probably has.
