I'm twisted!
Posted: Mon Sep 17, 2007 9:07 am
Been thinking for a while that there's something wrong with my bars - the right-hand one feels closer than the left. I've had a car-park drop (long time ago), so wondered if they were bent, or rotated. So, measured them, then again, then again - couldn't find anything wrong.
Then, took a loan bike out recently while mine was serviced. Same feeling, the right bar closer than the left. Then realised - I broke my left arm as a kid, and it's got a slight kink in it - therefore that arm is stretched out more than the right arm, meaning the right arm feels more "cramped".
So, it's not the bike that's twisted, it's me!
(Notice I didn't suggest "I'm bent" - I know what you lot are like
)
