I posted this in the beginner's forum before I noticed this forum (technique). I can't figure out how to delete the other post... sorry for the x-post.
Anyways...
I got a new bike this summer (Yeti 575) that I love. But I just can't seem to get myself to spin on the bike. I got into the habit of spinning after about a week's worth of practice on my old bike, but I just can't get my body to do it unless I'm focusing on it. Could this suggest there is an issue with how the bike fits, or should I just give it more time/patience?
Next week I'm hoping to ride 4 or 5 times (a lot for me, normally I ride twice a week), and I'm hoping to really concentrate on spinning to see if I can get past this issue.
Being on a longer travel bike makes spinning much more important - not being able to is really hindering my riding and it's getting frustrating. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
