>>1707152Ah, I coulda phrased that better I guess. re: DIY fit my question is which part should I start adjusting first, and what new parts if necessary might I need to buy to achieve a better fit.
>How much do you currently (or aspire to) ride, in terms of distance per week or hours per week?I've only had the bike for a couple days so it's just been half hour rides around my suburb. I do want to progress to longer rides around 20km one way or just riding more in general, maybe 8-10hrs/week.
>is that because something hurts, or you feel like you're not in control?Both. I feel like there's too much pressure on my hands, and my lower back feels kinda strained after riding around town for a bit, but I feel like that's partly due to me not being on a bike for a long time. Basically I don't know what feels "right" yet.
>in what way does it feel like reducing the reach would help?I think it'd make the bars feel lighter in my hands, in turn giving me more control by not feeling so stretched out. I know increasing bar height might be the way to go instead of just decreasing the reach overall, but as I said the spacers look to be maxed out, which is why I brought up a raised stem.
I do know I just need way more time in the saddle, but if there are things I can start adjusting on my own for a better experience I'd like to get that done.
