![]() ![]() ![]() Everything below about how much I love this frame still holds true, as evidenced by having more miles on it than any other bike. Thanks to the ‘expanded frame’ concept the 52cm frame is in most ways really more like a 58cm, which is just too big for my proper saddle height of 63-64cm. I took a month off bikes at all and then rode my original hybrid a couple weeks to reset and relearn my fit, and the only obvious solution was to admit this frame was too big. An eleventh hour change to Billie bars to make the frame ride smaller helped, but did not alleviate my problems. I have tried different saddles, different stems, and different handlebars. Since I built the Clem I have had constant issues with tendonitis near my knee, issues with saddle pressure and rubbing, wrist pain, and nerve issues in my fingers. UPDATE August 24, 2018:Īfter almost three years and 7,800 miles (the most I’ve ever racked up on a single bike, woo!) I have swallowed the bitter pill and admitted to myself that this frame is too large for me. Read my ongoing thoughts about the new smaller Clem here. I no longer ride the 52cm frame having admitted it was too big for me. ![]()
