Feeling better today
I am feeling much better this morning. I woke up at 6am without an alarm and then bumbled about a bit and then got up and worked on my bike:
Riding last night I felt that my bars were still too high even though I slammed them as low as they would go last week. I am still struggling to get manuals that I could get before and I think that part of the problem is that the bars are too high so my manuals don’t have enough pull to them!
I decided to switch back to my old Crupi I-Beam stem as it is a front loader stem so it lowers the bars quits a lot compared to the Animal top loader freestyle stem that I was loading. I am just getting ready to go to the track now to test the bike out with the new stem to see if it improves my manuals or not!
The higher bars also make pumping feel strange which I think had something to do with me losing speed all the time over the jumps last night so hopefully dropping the bars may help as bit with that too.
I have just looked at the weather and it is looking like the weather is going to clear up after 5pm today so I think that I am going to wait until then to go to the track as the weather is looking rubbish until then!
I also have a new bottom bracket ready to fit to my bike but I think that I will wait until tomorrow to fit it a I can then wear it in on practice on Saturday and then it should be ready to go on Sunday for the race.
