The Hip Bone's Connected to the Shin Bone...

Once you stumble on these good articles, you tend to loose track of them if you don't grab them. Here are some articles on what to do if cycling is causing you some pain.

Good reading from Rivendell

Rivendell (a boutique frame shop in California, run by a fellow I understand holds a lot of contrarian views about bikes and fit) argues (forcefully) we have been pushed into frames that are too SMALL. Here are some of their interesting articles on bike fitting, Pelvic Bone Height, frame materials, etc. (though I find Rivendell has consistently overestimated frame sizes by about 2cm.)

PBH (Pelvic Bone Height) & How To Measure It and What To Use it For - (The most crucial bit of information you need when considering bikes.)

The Big Picture - "A bike should fit you. Most riders today are riding bikes that by our standards, are too small. They make you lean over too far.....

Choosing a Frame Size - "Want some sort of a concrete recommendation for sizing a road bike? Okay. You have to know your saddle height....."

Common Setup Mistakes - "Bad handlebar angle, Brake levers too low on the curve of drop bars, Saddle too low, ...."

Fit, Sizing, Position - "Don't buy any bike because of its parts or price or looks or anything like that...."

Frame Materials - "Weight, strength, safety, and frame materials"
