I realized that but he was talking about trying an EX after the RS

Thanks, Houtman. I've yet to test ride an EX, possibly this Friday.

Hi again:

I should mention that I've put a set of pull-back risers on my RS, and this not only aids with my posture (kinda short-armed), but it also makes steering feel lighter (I guess as a consequence of removing weight from my wrists).

This is my first impression after 20km ride only.

you should look anyway that you have no weight on your wrists; hold your body with your back/belly muscles...shoulders/armes shall be still loose.....that you have full freedom of movement: with every bike it became, easyer- more precise to steering

Very true. I learnt that on this forum, and went straight to get those pull-back risers.

I thought I was confortable on my bike. I was not, but I am now Smile

And much easier to steer indeed.
