Whatever that is...I decided after feeling rear knee pain after my last ride to move my saddle height back down to where it was before the Roman. I got ready for my ride, and went out to the garage to adjust the saddle height. I was really excited to try my new spin doctor torque wrench, but as it turned out this was a mistake. The wrench was calibrated incorrectly causing the bolt on the seat post clamp to fail. Luckily I went to CC and got a new bolt and was still able to get a full ride in. It is just the thought of spending good money for something to be as precise as you can, and then have it turn out to be the cause of failure...Not good Performancebike.com.
When I was at the shop Sondre and I calibrated it against a giant torque wrench at 6 nm. The spin doctor wrench was at about 4.5 nm, and that is unacceptable. I will see what I can do about re-calibrating the tool.
Once on the road, moving the saddle down helped with knee pain and ride comfort. I felt much more relaxed in the saddle. The ordeal turned out to be no worse for wear. Live and learn, as the saying goes.
Tomorrow I want to do a bit longer ride, maybe into Middletown, or down to Lymann before the cold winter hits.
This Wednesday, indoor training start in earnest at CC, so I will be changing to Tomasso tires today. Bring on the Sufferfest, I am ready.(www.thesufferfest.com )
