I've been having troubles descending and making turns. I noticed that I was consistantly locking my elbows. That's bad ju-ju. I suspected I was locking them because my hands were too far apart. I tested the theory by holding my hands close to the stem and riding around. Much better. Tonight I lopped off 40mm per side of my bars to narrow them up.
I was worried about twitchiness, so I also added a longer stem...
The result... It's like I'm riding a new bike! Much better than being spread eagle on the front end. I can bend my elbows and it doesn't feel like I'm going to fall forward all the time.
Unfortunately there is approximately a zero percent chance of riding dirt this weekend.
I've never ridden with a 60mph tailwind...yet.
