Going by the almost straightened method for the most leverage. Height is 188 and frame size is L

I see.. I'm going by the same adjustments technique but when I am seated i've got to tiptoe intensively to maintain balance when my bike's in a standstill position. Is it normal ? Should I lower my saddle and compromise slightly on the leverage for some stability ?

stand beside your bike and your saddle should be at the height of your waist. standstill position you will need to shift your butt foward to the frame. when you ready to ride then step on the paddle shift back your butt to the saddle

Hmm, tecnically, for the most power out of each stroke, your leg should be only slightly bent when seated on the saddle with the pedal around the 6o'clock position.

As for maintaining balance at a standstill, I usually get off the seat, with the bike in between my legs, and one foot on either pedal. When I want to get back on, I step on that pedal and prop myself back onto the saddle.

Exactly what I'm doing right now. Guess I'll try to use this configuration as a fundamental guideline to find some middle ground between leverage and balance.

Hi guys,

Need some advice on bike frame repair.

Any place/LBS to weld back the broken part. (its a Mongoose NX8.3 frame)

 

[tecnica]

no point welding.. cos weld back also wun be as strong as before... unless u can find a real good welder... u can try rebound centre but prepare to burn a big hole in ur wallet...

i say buy new bike la...~

It's aluminum right? If so, then just wielding would not regain the structure's strength. Need some special treatment after wielding to regain the strength. Don't think it will be cheap if available. Think better off getting a new frame.

if u guys dun mind older series... this is good!

Think only with right hand level. Operate the front brake with right hand? Is that a good idea?
