MadNick1.2 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Hi All,I have a problem where i keep repeatadly bashing my knees on the stem when i am trying to get up stuff forwards.My poor knees are taking a right battering. I have tried these,http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=9590and they are huge. so they are no good and i have sent them back.Is their any product out there that will fit onto my stem so i dont have to wear them huge knee pads.

PaRtZ Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 it is a common problem... I sometimes hit my bollocks on the stem on big taps Could you change stacker height and equivalent stem geometry to get it more out of the way?

Muel Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 My Simtra has a low BB and short stays, so I end up sitting on the tyre hard all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 [Most likely] Barely inflated rubber is a lot less forgiving than metal, yes Another vote for duct taping some foam over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
