Want to have information about the bike racing Specialized Roubaix Roubaix Expert SL 2009. I want a bike because I have stiff neck problems and now I'm doing appropriate massage.
My old bike has an aluminum frame that I find too hard even if the measures are accurate. They tell me that Roubaix Expert is one of the more comfortable riding bikes position and as such comfort and with the special front forks and rear with the strange shape ensures maximum vibration absorption.
It's all right? The merits and defects of this bike what are they?
Dear reader,
If you want a comfortably bike without any doubt the Specialized Roubaix Expert is a model appropriate for elastomer inserts, positioned on the fork tubes and the highest in the rear ensure a good absorption of vibrations. The geometry of the frame, with a shorter length of tube, and a higher head tube, leading to a driving position more comfortable. Among other advantages, it may make stability and steering precision. Among the defects will find a rigid frame and a rear lower reactivity of the more specialized models. In reality than defective, we can speak of features, the perfect bike does not exist and if we want a comfortable bike we inevitably give up a super stiff frame. Then each Company has its own recipe, so if we make a comparison with other direct competitors in price and features, you can find models more rigid but less comfortable. In order to give priority to the comfort the bike you want is good. Important, however, not only the bike, but also the right measures of the frame. Who suffers from neck pain would do well to adopt not only a bike fit (I quote briefly Specialized Roubaix, Cannondale Synapse, Bianchi Infinito) but also with an adequate position in the saddle. It is not uncommon to see cyclists, after buying a bike on the bike set-up involving a less competitive and more relaxed, show the distance between saddle and handlebar between the stem and soil units typical of most bicycle racing. This is certainly a very serious mistake that almost cancels the purchase. In particular, an affectionate person from neck pain should use a set-up in the saddle due to the shorter (distance saddle handlebar reduced), with higher handlebars and a shallow crease. With this arrangement the bust will be raised and there will be less hyper cervical lordosis, the first element of discomfort.
