bike fit is

 a giant pain in the ass

esp when something isn't quite right

which bike? Obvs the Top Fuel the expensive shifty squishy bike... yeah Dave, the one with the janky 2 year old beat up not shifting right that self destructed on the very first ride SRAM NX eagle rear der.

It shifts just don't back pedal.

Played with the saddle a bit, tiling back helps mostly because it seems to give me more reach...  

Riding it this week as a commuter is kind of dumb with soft durometer tires but also really good way to see how it fits. Riding in the woods is dynamic and position is changing enough to have bigger tolerances, but shouldn't matter. bike needs to fit...

and I'm feeling that that seat post issue was just the first one, thinking really now that maybe the stem is too short or something is just not right. 

But putting a longer stem on changes the handling, but fit and not being in pain is more important than that no? 

Maybe. 

Riding in this morning I'm thinking, well fuck maybe I need to just sign up for the Singlespeed Freetown 50. I know that the Stache works for me over a long time on moderately smooth road/trails and I can drive it over the rocks well enough. Slap the 20t on and the other chain and go... 

That's why i haven't signed up yet... still mentally debating.

Now have to go pick up the car. Paid someone else to do the major service instead of me spending a day doing it and figuring everything out. It is expensive but I think we've more than saved the price of the service with fuel savings from having ditched the MiniVan.

More later.

Also going to try something new, an indoor workout tonight... 

Maybe i'll have time to write more later after that... hahah maybe...  maybe after i made dinner... hahah yeah right

i crack myself up
