I put myself out of action (more ‘white-outs’/head aches) for a couple weeks by doing some casual hopping… seems that aggressively pulling from the crotch while on the uni will make one go blind (and it doesn’t seem to matter which hand I use…). So, no hopping, gapping, spinning… freestyle, out, Muni, out… let’s see, that leaves me with a much neglected Coker…
So I got to put 18 miles on a new Coker mounted KH saddle last night- what a surpirse: it was hard as a rock! The Coker seat post didn’t allow for quite as much pitch rotation of the saddle as does the United seat post- combined with what must be a VERY differnt posture when riding the big wheel… and I was numb in less than 8 miles. I’ll take a drill to the seat post to see if I can increase the range any; if not, there is always the Steve Howard rail adapter. While I blame seat angle for the discomfort, there may be a differnece in padding between this KH sadle and my other… I’ll measure the height-at-handle on both and post any discovery.
I have a Velo saddle which I think is similar to the KH? I think it’s more comfortable with the nose a bit lower than, say, the Viscount. Could be worth a try.
If not, ask the Doctor to take away the pain and leave the swelling.
